Today is the 69th Anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, a day not only "lives in infamy," but that forever influenced the "Greatest Generation" in the same fashion that September 11, 2001 did on my generation. (And as I have said before, history is still being written on Gen-X/The 9-11 Generation) This generation stepped up to lead, protect America and defeat Nazism, Socialism and Fascism. Then, they peacefully returned home to build families, communities and the American economy that we have come to know.
Be sure to thank a member of that generation for their sacrifices and hard work that contributed to the United States in becoming the driving force for success and good in world during the 20th century and beyond!
Note: The picture above is of the USS Arizona Memorial, located over the sunken battleship destroyed by a Nakajima V5N on that day. To this day, oil still leaks from the hull to the water's surface.
