Dec. 7, 1941, 'A date which will live in infamy'
What does Infamy mean? :shrug:
1. Extremely bad reputation, public reproach, or strong condemnation as the result of a shameful, criminal, or outrageous act:
a time that will live in infamy.
2. Infamous character or conduct.
3. An infamous act or circumstance.
I had the privilege to visit Pearl Harbor when I was 16 yrs old as my grandparents lived over there most of their lives. I still remember almost every bit of it.
Very humbling, very surreal, very saddening.
There was still a swirling rainbow film of oil rising off the USS Arizona and surfacing on the water below our feet as we stood on the memorial looking down into the ocean at the shadows below.
That was pretty damn poetic🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸, don't hear too much about Pearl Harbor anymore these days I wonder if they even teach the kids about it in school? They might be traumatized and need group counseling and hugs!

"Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who planned the attack on Pearl Harbor would reportedly write in his diary, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.â€
