Pearl Harbor Day was Today

    Pearl Harbor Day was today
      feels like it’s gone away

    Emotions it once ignited
      no longer invited  

    Determination it long ago steeled
      faded forever, without appeal

    Forgive Old Glory for shedding a tear
      lowered to rest after all these years

While visiting Pearl Harbor I was struck by the juxtaposition of the natural serenity of the area and those awful events of the "day that will live in infamy"

Yes today is that day. My sister in Laws birthday is on this day so I can never forget this day. It was a coward act of hit and run. They paid the price in the end. That is a lesson they will never forget, to attack America back then the strongest military force on earth. Can you imagine how the Japanese Americans feel now when this event is brought up. They probably stay in their homes and don't venture out for the shame they feel because of their military. Thank you Gershon for sharing.
