I’d had a busy weekend and was about to turn in when I glanced at the date and recalled that today is the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Though it was an age ago and I cannot claim that day as mine, it is etched into my experience just the same. It is a prominent remembrance in the American psyche and, today, I will remember those who died in the attacks. But I will not mourn them, I will, in the words of Gen. Patton, “thank God that such men lived.” May we always stay vigilant, and may we always be ready.
