Amen.

Pearl Harbor, the Greatest Generation and the enduring lessons of World War II | The Charlotte Observer
Quote:
In the dying sunlight of your American afternoon, we keep listening to you, the Pearl Harbor generation.

Especially Wednesday.

On those rare occasions when my newspaper fails to note the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, or scantily notes it, you valued readers of a certain age let us know. As well you should.

Wednesday is the big 75th anniversary. But “anniversary” seems too happy a choice to pair with that treacherous surprise attack, described by President Franklin Roosevelt as “a date which will live in infamy,” that killed so many of your men and plunged you into World War II and seismic shifts throughout America and the world.
