68 Years Ago - Sunday, December 7



Although I was some 10 years from the beginning of my long walk upon this earth, the date of December 7 is seared into my brain as the date of the Japanese attack upon the U.S. at Pearl Harbor. How things have changed in the years since that tragic day in 1941. For my parents generation, things completely changed. That event perhaps did more to change the world than anyone could ever comprehend completely. Profound changes, indeed.

This days cannot help but make me think of the brave men and women who lost their lives that day, and the millions who lost their lives in the terrible war that followed.


As Private Robert E. Lee Prewitt says in "From Here to Eternity" -"A man don't go his own way, he's nothing. "
