On a Sunday morning not unlike this one 67 years ago today, Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor and launched America’s unwanted involvement in World War II. With as much as we all seem to have going on these days, please take a few moments today to reflect on the sacrifices that have been made to protect this country and all of us. From the very first rebels of the colonies to the men and women still serving around the globe today, we’ve shed much precious blood in the name of freedom and American life so that many of us can sit comfortably behind our keyboards, desks, televisions, steroes, etc day in and day out. Be thankful for it.
Since the major news networks aren’t particularly interested in the Pearl Harbor attacks anymore, here are a few links to jumpstart your historical memory. As usual, the History channel seems to be a better way to spend the afternoon than anything else on television.
