A Day That Went Down in Infamy

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.

soule:  we must also not forget that the Soviets were responsible for an additional untold millions of deaths of Jews and others during WWII.

For those who do not know about WWII, nor how it came to be, how the Allies pulled together to fight one of the most despicable tyrants this world has ever known, Adolph Hitler, please take the time to do some research on this subject.  

I believe this is why it is so vitally important that America not abandon Israel but provide all the help she needs as she is being forced to face another very grave threat and it isn't from Germany this time, it is from Iran.

If the UN had done its job of seeing to it that Iran not be able to continue to with pushing ahead with its nuclear progam, I am certain that the world would be a better and safer place right now.

I don't believe that Israel will be the only one affected if she is forced to defend herself but that her understandable actions will undoubtedly have far reaching affects across the world.

And where is our President? -Sucking up to the Muslim Brotherhood - A Radical Islamist Organization.

This whole thing could have been avoided but isn't it interesting that it hasn't?

I am sure that American public schools are not teaching the lessons of what happened during WWII nor the events leading up to it.

We must take it upon ourselves to educate ourselves for if we do not know history, history has a way of repeating itself.

If we do not learn from the lessons of the past, we are inclined to repeat the mistakes of the past.

And it seems that we are heading in that direction, again.
