Let's not forget that today is Pearl Harbor Day
On December 7, 1941 the Japanese sunk a good part of our Navy during a sneak bombing attack on Pearl Harbor. While some historians consider the attack a huge success, others consider it a catastrophic failure because the Japanese chose a day when our aircraft carriers were far out at sea.
Had our aircraft carriers been at Pearl Harbor, most if not all would have been sunk along with our battleships. Then the war in the Pacific would have been much harder for us to win. Our aircraft carriers played a huge part in the defeat of Japan.
What's so sad is that today many of our high school graduates do not have the foggiest notion of what Pearl Harbor Day is all about.
