It made me upset to think just because a lot of World War vets are gone we should not remember that day. I grew up with a war vet in my home ? my uncle, Tom Anders. He never talked much about the war, but he always told me to never forget Dec. 7. Even the President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, said, ?It is a day that will live in infamy.?
I guess in today?s world if it?s not on Facebook or Snapchat or the Internet, it?s not important. But like my uncle, I told my grandson about Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941, and I will every year.
Still remember,
Paul Anders
