Pearl Harbor

The bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 is generally thought of as the incident that singularly provoked the United States into the Second World War. In response to this President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered a speech that pushed the public away from the isolationist dogma and into the realm of responsibility.

    If you ever find yourself in my home state, and on my home island of O'ahu, the Arizona memorial is a must visit in my mind. This was a huge event in our nation's history (even though Hawaii wasn't even a state in 1941 - 18 years away from it, actually), and the memorial is really well done.

    I was at the Arizona years ago and it was a haunting experience. I also talked to a young Japanese girl around my age who was a tourist there as well... we both stated that we should not allow anything like this to happen again. I did not think it would be as emotional as it was for me... but when I stepped onto the memorial and looked down below, the tears came. Bless all those who served and sacrificed and may we one day actually learn from the past to not keep repeating it.
