Today is the 68th Anniversary of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. While to many, this may seem like ancient history, it will always remain etched in this nation's history and served as a wake-up call that things in the world that needed dealing with.
Although there are those conspiracy theorists who will argue that President Roosevelt purposely ochestrated events so as to provoke a Japanese attack and cause America's entry into the way, I really don't think so. We were on a collision course iwth the Japanese Empire for some time and if the attack on Pearl Harbor hadn't occurred, then it would have happened somewhere else.
At any rate, below is the usual picture I post on December 7, the USS Arizona in better days because that's the way she should be remembered.
