The Date of Infamy that launched an epic conflict with Japan took place here in the early morning hours of December 7, 1941.

Oh yea – never forget any of those tragic events.
No one wins in a war. There is always a price to be paid. Freedom is the highest price one can pay. Honor all veterans. God bless you all.
