This Day in History

In probably one of the best known speeches in presidential history, Franklin Roosevelt declared December 7, 1941 to be "a date which will live in infamy...."  Now December 7 is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.  Sadly, there aren't too many people still around who actually remember the day itself, but the rest of us at least know the history.

The Valor in the Pacific Memorial, the resting place of the USS Arizona and almost 1,200 servicemen who went down with the ship, is officially a national park. I have never been, but I would like to visit some day.
