Good day everyone, Good day everyone. How are you all? I hope that you are rocking and rolling through this great week, and I hope all of you Americans took a little time to reflect today. 64 years ago today, the Japanese brought us into World War II with an unprovoked, pre-emptive strike against the American fleet in Pearl Harbor. They destroyed most of the fleet there, and changed America forever. However, in the words of Japanese Admiral Isoruko Yamamoto (one of the leading figuresbehind the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor) after the attack: "I fear we have only awakened a sleeping giant, and his reaction will be terrible." This was indeed true, as America rebounded to defeat the Japanese in the upcoming war. America changed that day, and I hope that every American took a little time today to reflect on that attack, and those brave young men who died that terrible day. Just wanted to note that. Take care, and have a rocking night everyone.
