December 7, 1941 - a day that will live in infamy. Japan struck the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor Hawaii without warning, plunging the United States into a desperate battle for the next 4 years. Millions of young Americans went to war including my father and mother and two of my uncles. Admiral Yamamoto who engineered the attack had studied at Harvard and knew the American character. He had advised against the attack saying that it would awaken a sleeping giant. He was right. Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945. Japan followed three months later on August 15, 1945. Remember the brave Americans who fought for this country. Remember so that we will never be caught unprepared again. Remember.
