December 7th 2009.

Today is the 68th Anniversary of the "Attack on Pearl Harbor" and the United States of America. Ever since that day, the United States Military has been on ever alert to the the threats on our nation, by others.

This is a day when we should take some time to reflect on how December 7th 1941, changed our nation. Of the dedication and sacrifices that countless generations of American who have answered our nations call to miltary service. Those who died, those who were wounded, and those survived and returned home to a ungrateful nation!
