Infamy.
Sadly, with each passing year, as the memories of the attack of September 11, 2001 and the horrors it brought fade away (or politically morph into a “man-made disaster”), it becomes increasingly important to remind folks of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, “A date which will live in infamy.”
You can read and hear President Roosevelt’s December 8, 1941 address to congress here.
As a smarter person than I once said, “Those who forget the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.”
