On December 7, 1941, The United States lost its innocence. The world came knocking at our door and let us know we weren’t immune from terrorists attacks. I heard on the radio today that over 2400 Americans died that day. Go to the Department of Navy Historical Center by clicking here to learn more.



I’m not here to debate the political implications or the right or wrong issues of the war. I just wanted to take time to recognize those who died that day in the service of our country. Men and women of honor upheld the integrity of our country by fighting back. Men and women who were safely tucked away from the battle reported without a call to fight and to treat the injured.

All those who served deserve to be remembered. We owe them much for their service.
