68 years ago today

The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor resulting in the US involvement in WWII. The attack sank 4 US Navy battleships and damaged 4 more. The Japanese also sank or destroyed 3 cruisers, 3 destroyers and 1 minelayer, plus they destroyed 188 aircraft causing more than 2400 deaths and injuring close to 1300 people. While WWII did not happen in my lifetime I still personally feel it is my duty as an American citizen to recognize the brave men and women who fought to eradicate evil back in 1941 as well as today. Please stand with me today and proudly recognize their sacrifice and the lives lost. This great country we call home would not be what it is today without their bravery!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

  1. We saw a bunch of pictures and memmorobelia from the USS Utah at the capital this weekend- we all need this ever important memmory. Freedom isn't free and we should all remember the men and women who continue to make this country what it is today. Thank you Angela.
