Amazing really...I can't believe it was 75 years ago....dad was in the Air Force in England at the time...he was lucky he went into the war late because he was young, otherwise I dnt thnk he would have made it home.

But I didn't realize that some of this history went back to the 1800s! So thanks for the link.

Wow. Last summer when I visited Hyde Park, NY and the FDR library I saw the Day That Will Live in Infamy speech. That was really cool. To see the corrections and the changes was really cool. I wonder in another 25 or more years if people will even think of this day. Have a good one.
