We dedicate today, December 7, to the memory of Pearl Harbor and all who fought and died in the "greatest" war of all time.

Seventy years ago today, Japan launched its attack on Pearl Harbor, the US naval base in Hawaii, with the loss of more than 2,400 lives and the United States was at war. My brother, 21 years my senior, fought in Europe and survived. But, he never got over the guilt of having lived through the worst fighting any of our armies have ever seen. This blog and my work as a small time publisher are dedicated to him. He died in 1987. Salute !! to all our veterans, regardless as to where and when they serviced.
