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 disasterâ€), it becomes increasingly important to remind folks of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, “A date which will live in infamy.â€
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.”
