December 7
“Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” ~ President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Address to Congress, December 8, 1941

On this day, we remember America’s veterans, we honor service and sacrifice, and we thank all who serve.
