A day that will live in infamy...two reasons

It's Pearl Harbor day, and man, this article brought tears to my eyes.

And it's Tom Waits's birthday.

Yeah. When I think of Pearl Harbor, I think of my uncles who were in the Navy during Korea, I think of my father in the Marines stationed in Hawaii in the late 50s. I think of my own service and the young men I served along with and wonder who among them have paid the highest price for serving our country. I may not always agree with the choices our leaders make, but I always believe in the men and women who choose to serve and take time from their lives to put the ideals of our nation ahead of their own futures.

A day that will, indeed, live in infamy.

That's right, I'd forgotten you were in the service. Yet another person who bucks the stereotype of the military. I know enough of those that it often seems like the stereotype is more the exception than the rule.

Thank You
