On December 7, 1941 the United States of America was attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. Pearl Harbor, Hawaii counted 2,390 Americans dead and 1,282 wounded. Eight battleships, three destroyers, three cruisers and one minelayer were destroyed along with 188 aircraft.
Most of us were not alive then yet we can understand how they felt. We experienced something similar on September 11, 2001.
Our job is to remember and never forget that evil men hate the goodness of America. They always have and they always will.
Remember, this terrible attack has now become only the 2nd worst attack on American soil. We are currently at war against religious zealots, but it seems that much of our leadership structure doesn't understand (or refuses to acknowledge) that fact. We should say thanks and prayers daily for our men and women in uniform today, too, for continuing to keep us safe despite the seeming best efforts of our politicians to handcuff them.
