[Coco] Lest we forget, Dec 07, 1941, 70 years ago today

[Wayne Campbell]

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.
