Today's Post: Thankful to God for our freedom today but I know it doesn't come without a price. Remembering those who perished 70 years ago in the attack on Pearl Harbor today.
I cannot believe it's been 70 years. From what I can understand, Pearl Harbor was our Grandparent's generation's 9/11. Casualties included 2,335 servicemen and 68 civilians, 1178 people were wounded. And the day after the attack, the U.S. declared war on Japan. It was also what drove the US into WWII. At least, that's what I remember from my high school history class. Hitler thought the US was too focused on Japan, but he was wrong. I am thankful for all our service men and women, as well as those at home who support them.
