Today is the 68th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. That attack sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, and one minelayer, destroyed 188 aircraft, and caused personnel losses of 2,402 killed and 1,282 wounded. The United States entered into World War II. I offer a moment of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in that war.

Makes me want to stand up and salute. A great shot for today.

Long may it wave. I remember Pearl Harbor. I was very little but it stuck in my mind and I can still hear the announcement on the radio and where I was and even what the rug on the floor looked like.

Such devastation to so many.
