Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 2012
Seventy-One years ago, on December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii.
America was caught with "its pants down" so to speak.
This attack was the beginning of American involvement in WWII.
The war lasted until 1945.
There are still many of us living today whose parents were involved in fighting this war.
Yet American school children attending public schools are not being taught about this war. How and why it happened. The countries and people involved.
They are not being taught about sacrifice; going without; rationing; losing loved ones and victory gardens.
If we see something wrong, then isn't it within our power and isn't it our duty to try and change it for the better?
We cannot afford to let the status quo continue to get away with dictating what they think is best for the rest of us, especially our children.
There were untold amount of sacrifices made by many during this war.
The lives lost were in the millions. The extinction of human beings - horrific.
Let us all strive together to ensure that this does not ever happen again.
