And a few years after that, all those who remember the Pearl Harbor attacks will have passed away. I suspect then WWII anniversaries will start getting much less press. Sad, as people will slowly forget, but I'm sure there will be increased emphasis on other days in history. I've noticed that after peaking about 15 years ago, the number of WWII themed movies and television programs has slowly decreased. The good news is, I know a few men around my age (40) who like to build WWII military models or play WWII themed games. The men who fought 73 years ago will still live on.
The fabric of their courage, is the foundation of our freedom.
Names may be forgotten, but their courage endures.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
