WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET


Seventy-six years ago, a deliberate and unprovoked attack was launched against this great country. The Japanese Imperial Navy attacked Pearl Harbor on a Sunday morning without warning.

The reasons for the attack were many, the Japanese needed to survive and America was making sanctions against her. Their mode of attack, although deemed sneaky by the politicians and media, was in their culture of war. Our culture was to sanction against those who invade others for profit.

While all this was playing out, many young men and women were being victimized by old men who thought war noble, even honorable. They sent young men, at the beginning of their lives to fight to the death without regard for their well-being.

As you know by now, the slaughter was complete, young people died for old men's battles and ideas. Innocent families, children and people of peace, all died in an old man's war until we dropped the atomic bomb upon ourselves.
