It is the day my father learned how to ride a bike. His father was doing the seat holding trick when his mother called out that the radio announced Pearl Harbor was being attacked. His dad let go to rush in to gather his sea bag, knowing full well he was about to be called in for war.
This is a moment in history much like 11 September, 2001. A moment that is proof we as a nation will overcome the greatest of odds.
Forever vigilant, never let your guard down, or we will suffer great losses. History is a teacher, and some lessons must not be repeated.
