It's almost hard to believe that sixty five years ago our nation was roped into World War II by the Japanese. Yes I'm referring to Pearl Harbor. And it has been, as former President Roosevelt said, "A day that will live in infamy." Although my generation was not around during that major turning point in our nations history we have a lot to thank the men and women who fought that war for. The memory of Pearl Harbor is forever etched onto the memory of survivors who return once every four years to say good bye to the fallen. This however is their last year. Their stories are important and it is my hope that they have passed them on to their children and grandchildren. According to Fox News the final farewell, "will be one to remember," said Mal Middlesworth, president of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association. "It's going to be something that we'll cherish forever." God Bless you all and may each of you have a Happy Holiday season.
