A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY Today marks the 76 th  anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.  " A day that will live in infamy”  as then President Roosevelt proclaimed.   In the early morning hours of December 7 th in 1941, a swarm of 360 Japanese warplanes completely surprised our forces at the U.S. Naval Base in Pearl Harbor.  More than 2,400 Navy, Marines, and Army personnel perished on that ill-fated day. Almost half of the casualties were from the sinking of the naval battleship, the USS Arizona and much of the U.S. Pacific Fleet was decimated. Of the Pacific Fleet, 3 destroyers, 5 of the fleet's 8 battleships and 7 other ships were sunk or severely damaged.

THE HERO’S STANCE AT ANZIO Blog Post 8 of 11 “Rat-a-tat-tat” the German machine guns blasted, their bullets plucking the barren dirt all around him.  Intrepidly, he reached his first quest - the enemy's nest.  He was outnumbered by six against his lone soul, odds clearly not in his favor.  Yet he bravely handled his charge and boldly hurled four grenades into their trench.  With a loud deafening explosion, he heard the sound of success as his ammo hit their mark.  When the smoke cleared, two enemy soldiers lay dead, the other four captured and marched back to his unit’s foxhole.   He was now out of ammunition having used the last four of his Army issued grenades.  Spotting a cache of the enemy’s grenades, a German “potato masher,” he quickly seized this horde and continued on his valiant mission.  Laden with the weight of ammunition and his rifle, he continued across the forsaken field, wiggling his body forward, crawling, crawling driven by the importance of h
