A Day That Shall Leave In Infamy, 73rd Anniversary


Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. I like to honor this day by remembering those veterans - Army, Navy, and Marine - who were there on that fateful day as well as those stationed on Wake Island and in the Philippines. These vets are dying out daily and the time will shortly come when no one who faced the waves of Japanese bombers will still be alive. So if you know one of these vets, take the time today to thank them for their service.

More of these photos can be seen here.

That generation of men and women would go into action to avenge these losses and they would win.
