TIME OUT: NEVER FORGET

Orlando Sentinel: “Pearl Harbor Day may live in infamy, but it’s fading from our modern conscience. You have to look harder each Dec. 7 to find stories about it on websites or in the morning papers. Millions of Americans will probably go the entire day without even realizing what day it is. We pay far more attention to days like Black Friday and Cinco de Mayo, a holiday that was basically concocted to sell Corona beer. That’s especially sad on this anniversary. For the first time in 77 years, nobody from the USS Arizona will be at Pearl Harbor. If you don’t know why that’s noteworthy, please brush up on your history. At approximately 8:06 a.m., a Japanese bomb hit the battleship’s ammunition storage area. The battleship was blown in half, and 1,177 men lost their lives. Only 326 survived. Now there are five.”

FROM THE FOX HALFTIME REPORT.
