December 7, 1941: A date which will live in infamy
The events of that day are a stark contrast to the amazing evening sunsets we enjoy over the Pearl Harbor channel out our front door.
As I watch the sun disappear, I realize we've led a charmed life.
The opportunities, democracy, and even basic human rights I enjoy are possible because of the sacrifices these men made along with many others so long ago.
Those freedoms still are being protected today by our men and women in uniform.
And I'm grateful we play a small part
We must never take peace and freedom for granted. We must honor our warriors.
We must always value their service and sacrifice.

Love these pictures.
Thanks Tiff.
A lot of the photos are my dads - but I think he did a pretty good job of capturing that day for us.
Participating in the 68th commemoration of Pearl Harbor was an amazing experience.
