"A Day That Will Live in Infamy." A day that chnaged the life of all Americans back in 1941 as it plunged us into World War II (even though we had been gearing up for it for quite awhile).
This has always been a major historical interest of mine, along with the Alamo, and the Civil War. Thanks to my mom, I was able to visit Pearl Harbor four years ago and went to the USS Arizona Memorial. That oil still coming up from the hull definitely connected me to the event.
I had the students study Pearl Harbor and World War II every year around this time. Lest we forget.
Also so sad to see so many of the Greatest generation passing away. Estimates say that every day, 900 more veterans of that conflict die. Age is doing what enemy bullets and shells couldn't do back then.
The 67th anniversary.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
