Two Days to Pearl Harbor

The Day That Will remain in Infamy will be in two days, some seventy years ago.

If I were still teaching, I imagine my students would spend this whole week studying the event. There is a Pearl Harbor survivor living in Lake County, Illinois, and I certainly would have tried to have him come out and talk. he is a living link to the event.

I would also play parts of the the "Pearl Harbor" and "Tora, Tora, Tora" movies. It is an event that should never be forgotten and it was always amazing how many of my students didn't know about it or even World War II for that matter.

Of they were in my class, they sure did.

Then, sixty years later, we were caught in another major surprise attack.

Not Forgetting.

My nephew is a Marine, and he deployed on a Navy ship in November. Their first stop was Pearl Harbor; I haven't talked to him, but I understand that he did visit the memorial there.
