During the month of December, we recognized the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. On December 7, 1941 the Japanese bombed the island with no prior warning plunging us into war on the Asian front. We should all take a moment to reflect on this event and how it changed so many lives. To remember all the lives that were lost to ensure our way of life today and to never forget the sacrifices made by those men and women.
We also should recognize all the men and women who are coming home from the Middle East. To remember they stand ready to defend our freedoms when called upon as done by the ones gone before them. When you see that person in uniform, thank them for the sacrifices they make each day to allow us to keep our freedoms.
