Embrace the Past…
While World War II is raging across the sea, calmness engulfs the United States of America. It is the year 1941, December 6 to be exact and it is Saturday. This day appears to be not much different than any preceding Saturday evening. In fact, it is an ordinary night for the thousands of sailors and soldiers stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Pearl Harbor is the naval base of the United States Pacific fleet located on Oahu, an island offering its inhabitants bountiful pleasures wrapped in impeccable beauty.
What happened next becomes a decisive pivotal point in history shifting the tides of the war. Return tomorrow for the rest of the story!

I was just thinking that it’s Pearl Harbor Day again. We don’t call it that anymore do we. What do we call it? I think my brain is slipping a few cogs.
National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day acknowledged on On August 23, 1994. At least that is according to wikipedia. Not sure if that has changed or been updated with something different.
