First of all, let me take care of a little blogging business.
I have been remiss in posting comments on my last two or three blog posts.
That has now been corrected so you can go back to The Friday Funnies, Wet & Foggy, and Road Trip and see that your comments are finally there.
I have comment moderation set up and Blogger is supposed to email me whenever a new comment is posted so I can okay it.
Somehow my email address was removed from "the system" and I didn't discover it until this morning.
Hopefully it won't happen again.
Now on a much more serious note, today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
On December 7th, 1941 . . 81 years ago . . Japan attacked the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in a surprise raid that inflicted monumental damage.
The U.S.S. Arizona suffered a direct hit and sank on the spot, taking with it the lives of over 11 hundred servicemen.
It became their final resting place and a Pearl Harbor visitation center was later built over what remained.
December 7th is "...a date that will live in infamy...", in the words of then President Franklin D. Roosevelt as he called for U.S. entry into World War Two.
It's a day for memories and introspection.
And for peace.
