Letting Go

[howeird]

The day that will live in infamy has pretty much lost its meaning.

I wonder how much of Japan's leap to the forefront in technology is due to America's refusing to allow them to waste any significant dollars on things military? It certainly accounts for their lack of saber-rattling for the past 60+ years.

Oh, crud, you're right!

Every time, Dec 7th sneaks up on me....

I remember Normandy well enough, as it is also my mother's birthday, but we have better things to celebrate than the liberation of France. The fact that my mother is still around is good enough.

I hope the lives lost at Pearl Harbor are properly remembered, but I also weep for the Japanese. They were treated so badly.
