Never forget and always remember. Remember a saying that should always shake the hearts of our enemy.
"I fear that we have awakend a sleeping tiger." Japanese admiral.
Not sure if that is the exact wording but it sure is true.

Pearl Harbor day, I was talking about this last night with the family. Have to remember who lost their lives for our freedom.

One of the reasons they attacked us at Pearl was Roosevelt put an embargo on Japanese goods. I am NOT saying the Japs were justified, it was a cowardly attack no doubt. Just giving the reason for it.

I was thinking of this last night, as I took advantage of a couple of freedoms protected in our way of life.
We finished that war. We will finish this one.

As far as I can recall, it was because of Japan's aggression in Southeast Asia.
