Pearl Harbor Remembrance

Admin/ December 8, 2015/ Political

 

Today is December 7th.  In America, it is a day that has and always will live in infamy. Pearl Harbor came as a surprise to America.  Up until, and through World War I, America felt invincible.  There were plenty of problems in the world, but they were across oceans, or far to the south in the other America, but Japan ended that feeling of safety.

And to this day, during and after World War II, we remind ourselves each year that we will not forget.  Many veterans and active soldiers make a pilgrimage of sorts to Pearl Harbor to remember what was lost, both American feelings of safety as well as the lives lost.

This is a pilgrimage I intend to make.  Though I am not a soldier, I feel an obligation to see this place that drastically changed the course for American History.
