Some observations on Pearl Harbor Day:
A lot of people remember the significance of 11 September, 2001. Although I didn't remember today's significance until I saw that post, and I saw no mention of it anywhere else on my regular reading list, I think that no attack on America since its inception has been so important as the one that happened sixty-four years ago today.
- This morning, the flags at the University administration building were at half-mast.
- Making Light has a post here, with an excellent comments thread, a timetable, and the text of Franklin Roosevelt's famous speech to Congress on the following day, beginning "Yesterday, 7 December 1941—a date which will live in infamy—"
- As someone mentioned in that thread, Wikipedia's article on the Pearl Harbor attack is quite good.
