There are fewer and fewer WW II vets surviving today...and even today, some will not talk of the horrors they experienced while serving. If you know one of these surviving vets, please express your gratitude and love for your freedoms to them due to their efforts. Today's world is getting more dangerous and it seems that our great country has even more enemies, though we have lent our hand of help, dollars to feed and rebuild the world and aid in upgrading people everywhere...yet, war continues on....
There are "Freedom Honor Flights" going on recently, where WW II veterans are flown free of cost to Washington D.C. for a day. If you would like to be a caregiver on one of these flights, or if you are a WW II vet interested in going to an honor ceremony in D.C., please check this link:

Also, from the Library of Congress, here is a link regarding "This Day In History" for December 7; please see the picture at the bottom of the link for a photograph of the ceremonial opening of the Pearl Harbor dry dock...a very interesting photo, indeed:

And don't forget to hug a veteran, no matter where or when he or she served!
