No, I wasn't born yet, but I know many who were. I know some who served, and their number are dwindling.
There are other days we remember, and shame on us if we don't. The what, the when, the where. For some it is the day Kennedy died, for some it is the day the Challenger exploded, the day Columbia never came home.
Then there are those other days. The numbers representing the dates are all we need to say everything that needs to be said. 9/11 is one.
But Dec. 7th is that one date that brought a country not to its knees, but to its feet.
Let us never forget what happened or who answered the call. Let us never forget that the world changed, and not just for a day. For those who sacrificed, we thank you. For those who continue to do so, we thank you. We are free because of you.
