"A date which will live on in infamy..."

Two years and two days ago President George W. Bush declared Dec. 7 National Pearl Harbor Rememberance Day:

"NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 7, 2003, as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. I encourage all Americans to observe this solemn occasion with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I urge all Federal agencies, interested organizations, groups, and individuals to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff this December 7 in honor of those who died as a result of their service at Pearl Harbor.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth."
GEORGE W. BUSH

I would like to thank all those who responded so bravely on that frightful day and as a result responded to the call for freedom. One of the things I am most proud of is to live in a great country that promotes freedom around the world. Thanks to all of our veterans who have fought wars past and the troops who are currently serving our nation.
