I'm not holding a grudge, and have recently fallen in love with Japan and her people, but history, remembrance, and memorials are important, so it is sad to note that FDR's date which will live in infamy is mostly ignored.
Yet Ed Hayes came through, as did BC and Mallard.

Do you remember when Janet played taps on the violin at the Indian Princess Christmas tree sale on December 7, 1991 (50th anniversary)?

I remember playing taps vividly, and I think I knew at the time why I played, but to further show my ignorance, I had no idea December 7th was special until I read Mallard. Why did nothing historical stick in my head? Well, that's nothing that can't be changed. Thanks for the post!
