It is absolutely lovely outside. Another lazy Sunday mornin' with the sun bright in the sky, and all is quiet as people are slowly rousin' to get out to attend church services, treat their hangovers and the what-not. Everything seems right with the world and no one has any concerns except the approachin' Christmas holiday.
Wait, what is that noise, the low-pitched drone. I think I heard a distant explosion. There go the air raid sirens and the explosions increase in numbers. Sporadic gunfire grows to a constant crescendo and the drone of the planes overhead is deafenin'. All Hell has broken lose.
Today is the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. We lost a lot of Americans that mornin'. Let us never forget them.
A roundup of Pearl Harbor Day postin's:
It is a testament to the current level of remembrance of this historical event that of all the blogs on my blogroll who had posted somethin' this mornin', the above were the only ones I could find that said a thing about today bein' the day to remember those who died 62 years ago.
If you have posted somethin' in remembrance of Pearl Harbor Day, please trackback to this post.
[Update: As suggested by Greyhawk in the comments, there was indeed more postin' about Pearl Harbor Day as the hours went by. I liked especially this short bit by Owen of Boots and Sabers: We are not a nation that yearns for war, but we are a nation that is willing to finish one. It's in our blood.]
