"A date that will live in infamy..."

[Noah Corek]

Well, I woke this morning and I forgot what it was today. December 7th, some of the people who don't live in America might not recognize the importance of this date, but all Americans, at least I hope, will know the significance. On this day, 73 years ago, America was attacked in a unprovoked and audacious attack by the Japanese Empire. The Japanese launched a surprise military attack against the US, causing the death and wounding of 3,581 people, including Navy, Army and Marine personnel as well as civilians. It sunk 7 US Naval vessels, the Arizona, the California, the Oklahoma, the Oglala, the Sotoyomo, the Utah and YFD-2. To make it clear, I'm not trying to push something onto others or am I trying to spew hate onto anyone who is Japanese, I'm just trying to get everyone, or at least every American to pause and just for a few seconds, to remember these men and women who died at Pearl Harbor and the resulting 407,316 who were killed and the 671,278 who were wounded. So if anyone who reads this would just stop and have a moment of silence, it would be appreciated by both me and all the veterans who died and were wounded.

When I was stationed in Hawaii we went to the memorial every year on this date.

I actually had a great uncle who died saving as many men as he could that day. There's a Recreation Center deciated to him in my neighborhood. I have lots of relaitves who served in the Marines, Air Force and Navy who have lucky all come home in one piece. But even then we still remember out fallen.

Interesting fact. Canada declared war on Japan before the American's did after the attack. Nation Bros. forever!

All we did though was intern a bunch of Japanese and Japanese Canadian's, steal their property and ruin their lives. To which we're eternally sorry for. Back then was a different time, mistakes were made. What we can do now is not forget what we did. And to not repeat our mistakes our parents and grandparents made. The likelihood my country will ever face such a war again is slim, but mankind is both brilliant and stupid. The future unpredictable. So we may, but I hope we never will.
