Remembering Pearl Harbor

Today marks the sixty eighth anniversary of the entry of the United States into the World War II. As you know, the war began with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. This past October, Katy and I visited Pearl Harbor and the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial during our honeymoon. For both of us, it was a "must see" on the trip. The memorial is a solemn reminder of those who perished on the Arizona that day. The visit that day reminded me of the epitaph Kohmia 2nd Division Memorial, commemorating the dead of the British and Commonwealth Armies who repulsed the Japanese invasion of India in 1944. The epitaph reads:

"When You Go Home, Tell Them of Us and Say,

For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today"
