Good post Ron. I thought about it earlier today and thought someone here might post. This Lounge doesn't forget.
It was a quiet Sunday too, wasn't it?
Yes, we would never want to forget the sacricfices made by so many that day nor those made later in the war. War itself is not fulfilling like the recruitment ads, not even close. Even the guy who never did more than repeatedly freeze his toes standing a lonely guard duty and came home to remark of it, deserves our eternal appreciative respect. For some, guard duty was their very lonely last act.
And just as important, we can never forget the the lesson ...the failed foreign policy leading up to the attack ...the casual attitude towards foreboding intelligence. We should have known and will be more wary. The similar lesson of 9/11 reminds us too, even as they inexorably still began to fade. Better to be periodically reminded in print. Thanks.
