Today (well- yesterday, technically) In History

What does Pearl Harbor mean to the country? I think that the sacrifices made are starting to fade into history; everyone knows what day it is, but still, snow in California seems to have been the "buzz" today, not Pearl Harbor. Some people will always remember the day, because they are interested in it, others will continue to move on, and not really take a look back to see what led to the catastrophic event, and how it has impacted.

Reading these veteran's experiences with the attack is interesting; it's from a whole other perspective. Not the newspapers or the people looking on, but the people IN the attack. It can change the whole way you look at the event- it did for me.
