A few days ago, we celebrated Veterans Day. A day that we thank those who have served our country over the years. Protecting the freedoms we have all come to cherish. In a couple of weeks, the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor will be observed. There are not many still alive who remember that day and even fewer who survived it.
What followed over the next 4 years was a massive war that engulfed almost every continent. The continental US was such a distant target that our enemies really never had a chance to inflict a lot of damage to our shores.
