I observed that the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association is officially disbanding now. I guess there won't be anymore survivors visiting the memorial from now on. 12/7/1941 is at least as important to remember as 9/11/2001. Whether or not there will be future public rememberances, and despite the fact that I was born 14 years after the attack, I will always remember, and I will always give reverence to those who gave their lives for us, no matter what battle, or what war they fought in.
