I was listening to the radio this afternoon to a local show that I like. Its usually local politics, but on historical dates, the host will spend a good hour dwelling on the lessons of history.
Today, as he often does, he had Dr. William Forstchen on. As a local professor, as well as well known author, Bill brings a knowledgable insight and seriousness to the subject.
The entire "Day of Infamy" speech was replayed, as well as a number of historical news announcements of the attack. The phones were flooded, as they always are on historical days with people filled with gratitude and honor for those of the Greatest Generation.
Just goes to show that while the "mainstream" can gloss over it - there is a lot of everyday people who enjoy taking a moment to remember the heroes of the time.
