A Day that Will Live in Infamy

It's been over 50 years now since the attack on Pearl Harbor. Most of the survivors of the attack are gone now, so it's up to the rest of us to remember for them.

Here's a good overview of what happened, from a Navy History site.

This site offers some first person recollections of the day.

You can always depend on National Geographic for a good multimedia retrospective.

And while we're remembering the fallen heroes of World War II, let's not forget the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines still out there in the field, risking their lives for this country. If you're in the mood for giving this holiday season, here are a few good military-related charities:
