'Day of Infamy'

I am assuming our Loyal TriSec is with his family today, but knowing him, I would have to assume that he would remind us that this is a very somber anniversary.
Today is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
The oldest living survivor of that day remembers as well. President Roosevelt would declare War on Japan the next day.
History never stops from becoming. It is up to each and everyone one of us to change course for the betterment of history.
As an aside, my condolences to the Tri Sec family on the loss of their aunt.

Today is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
The oldest living survivor of that day remembers as well.
No one asked Navy Lt. James Downing to hurriedly memorize the names on the dog tags of the dead and injured during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
But Downing, then 28, did it because he could not bear the thought of families not knowing the fate of their loved ones. He wrote to as many families as he could.
The Colorado Springs resident, who celebrated his 100th birthday in August, is the oldest known survivor of the Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese sneak attack that killed more than 2,400 Americans .
Downing fought to save lives that day, all the while wondering whether it was the day his own life would end.
History never stops from becoming. It is up to each and everyone one of us to change course for the betterment of history.
As an aside, my condolences to the Tri Sec family on the loss of their aunt.
