The Date of Infamy that launched an epic conflict with Japan took place here in the early morning hours of December 7, 1941. The tranquil waters of Pearl Harbor were forever disrupted by the tides of war.

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE –
IT CARRIES WITH IT THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE!
There are not enough words to express the emotion felt in reading and/or listening to the poem A Soldier’s Christmas. The words of the poet are emotional enough within themselves. [This poem is different from one posted previously.]
On the eve of the anniversary of a monumental date in history, December 7, 1941 (Attack on Pearl Harbor), we should all stop and be thankful for the sacrifices made ensuring America’s freedom remains intact.
