"A day that shall live in infamy."
My folks took us to Honolulu when we were young. The Arizona memorial made a major impression on me, and I wasn't very old. 10 or 12 maybe. The solemnity of that site is staggering. There was a survivor there that day, they emptied the memorial and took him out by himself. One of the staff explained and apologized for the delay, but I don't think there was one person there that minded, but if there were they didn't voice it.
I learned a lot that day. I've learned a lot more over the years, that the whole debacle wasn't and isn't as cut and dried as it was presented. But history seldom is. Men make and write history, and men are fallible. I've been back there many times over the years. It always made a strong impression. A lot of good men lost.
Recent history? I definitely think that we need to step our screening game up. The events in Pensacola were not the first time this has happened, and the folks involved were from the same place. I don't believe in coincidence.
