Subject: Pearl Harbor, Dec 7th 1941

Gents:

President Roosevelt described the Japanese's attack on Pearl Harbor as "a date which will live in infamy".

Three weeks ago, my wife and I were at the Punch Bowl cemetery near Pearl Harbor, where hundreds of Dec 7th KIAs are buried, along with thousands of WWII KIAs. We placed our flowers on her uncle's gravestone, noting the Dec 7th engraved date. We also noted there were very few flowers on graves throughout the cemetery.

Is it fair to say that 'December 7th' is not a date that lived in infamy? Just ask your kids, grandkids, or young adults for that matter, what happened on that date...and you will be met with a blank stare.
