December 7th

Today marks two milestones. Personally speaking it's my brother Bryce's birthday. Have a happy one soldierant.

In the broader historical scope it's the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. I consider World War II one of those things in life that shouldn't be forgotten and should be drilled into every school kid's head. I found these photos* on the web today and think they are pretty interesting:



Give a look and remember not only the sacrifice of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines but the civilians that gave up the luxuries and then the necessities of life to help defeat a bunch of assholes. Follow the link and it has a little info on where these rare photos were found.

*Please note as with all things on the Internet I did not verify the photos' authenticity. Hopefully these aren't photoshopped scenes from that horrid Michael Bay movie.
