On this day . . .

[CPAjeff]

. . . some 79 years ago Franklin D. Roosevelt, speaking on December 8, 1941, recounted the events of the previous day by saying, "December 7, 1941 a date which will live in infamy the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." The lives of nearly every human being would be altered because of the conflict that would soon ensue. A heartfelt THANK YOU to the greatest generation of individuals who left their homes, lives, dreams, and aspirations to protect this wonderful country.

Another heartfelt THANK YOU is due to those individuals who continue to protect this great land!

"The Greatest Generation, also known as the G.I. Generation and the World War II generation, is the demographic cohort following the Lost Generation and preceding the Silent Generation. The generation is generally defined as people born from 1901 to 1927.[1] They were shaped by the Great Depression and were the primary participants in World War II."
