"A date that will live in infamy", proclaimed FDR as he informed the country of the tragic events of Pearl Harbor and then announced the declaration of war which brought the Allies into the conflict now known as World War II. In spite of their horrific nature, anniversaries such as this should never be forgotten because we should remember the victims, and too, they serve to remind us of the senseless nature of war and these unnecessary acts of violence. Hopefully, history does not have to repeat itself for us to learn from it.
May the souls of the men and women lost on that day rest in peace, and let's pray for an end to all violence, hatred, and acts of of terror. That would be the ultimate tribute honoring their memory and all the lives lost under these circumstances. Peace on Earth and good will to all men and women!

Dad had a 1st cousin's son die at Pearl Harbor on the Oklahoma. We found a beautiful tribute to him on the Catholic channel a couple of week sgo- He was the Chaplain of the ship. We'll speak of Fr Al at Christmas. What a hero What a sad day. Let us all pray for peace.

I really am sorry Mrs L - I know what it means to be a FOOTBALL FAN. I know how awful I felt after the Browns game.
