Today is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, also referred to as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day or Pearl Harbor Day, observed annually in the United States on December 7, to remember and honor the 2,403 Americans who were killed in the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941, which led to the United States declaring war on Japan the next day and thus entering World War II.
I was most saddened to not hear a mention of this day which affected the world -- so many of our fathers, grandfathers, and others close to us -- not necessarily at Pearl Harbor at the time, but in the resultant many battles -- on either our local WCBS affiliate local news station, nor any mention by Lester Holt and the WNBC news!
My heart and prayers of thanks of all who served following this brutal attack. As the DAV voices, "We ARE the land of the free because of the brave!"
My thanks to all veterans (still with us) as well as their families!
