A Day Which Will Live in Infamy

67 years ago today, the world changed forever, and PHNSY personnel actually did something on behalf of the sailors there. While we tend to rag on those who work at PHNSY for being lazy on that day they moved cranes into harms way to block planes and save ships from destruction. Many of them also lost their lives as well. On a clear Sunday morning, Pearl Harbor was attacked and everything America stood for was put to the test. On this day I just direct your attention to the following articles from the Raleigh News and Observer for a great description of how Pearl Harbor affected us and one regarding the way it affected one individual. The numbers of those who were there are rapidly dwindling and we need to listen to what they say and learn from their ideas. A heart felt thank you to those there that day and throughout WWII.
