Today is December 7th. That date rings in veterans ears. December 7th, 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, killing thousands of our brothers and sisters. It is a day we should never forget. I had three uncles that fought in WWII. Two of them received Purple Hearts. They inspired me to enlist in 1959. I am so glad I served in honor of them.
I was only two years old when Pearl Harbor happened, so I had not idea what was going on, but as the years past my uncles told me stories that dug deep into my heart. They were my heroes.
