“December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy.”
That famous proclamation from President Franklin D. Roosevelt still stands
true today. But as 76th anniversary events take place this week in Pearl
Harbor, there is a noticeable shift from the large-scale commemoration
activities that occurred a year ago for the 75th remembrance services.
We cannot – we must not – let their heroism fade from the memories of
Americans. It is our duty as patriotic citizens to educate future generations
on what the Greatest Generation did, starting with repelling the attack on
Pearl Harbor. After all, it’s embedded in the DNA of our organization, “To
preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the Great Wars.”
