A Day to Remember is December 7th

History was made to be infamous on this date back in 1941.
It was a time of a vicious attack on American soil.
Many lives were lost during this time of war and was known as something most infamous for it has never been forgotten nor will be.
Some of my family remembered this awful time though they are now deceased.
I wasn't born at this time of course for I wasn't even planned till sometime later.
I do remember reading about it; in the history books.
Have seen a film on the subject and felt the anguish and the pain associated.
It is a day when some family members of mine within my extended family were married some time later but on the same date.
It will remain infamous as the day that many lost their life.
Sorrow is associated as we remember this awful time.
May be cognizant and mindful of our history of this nation and give God the praise for saving us from a similar feat.
