Happy Thursday everyone!! Today is  December 7, 2023, it's an A  - Day and it's a wonderful day to learn!

Birthdays:  Happy Birthday to: Rae E, Dee E.  Ava P!

Today is..   NATIONAL  PEARL HARBOR REMEMBRANCE DAY

Each year in the United States, National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day honors all those who lost their lives when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. More than 3,500 Americans lost their lives or were wounded on that solemn day. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay

The day marked a turn in the United States' position regarding involvement in World War II. The Japanese attack damaged several battleships, permanently sinking both the USS Arizona and USS Oklahoma. Still, others capsized, taking crew members with them. One noted ship was the USS Utah. Along with naval vessels, the attack destroyed aircraft, too. As a result, the attack forced the U.S. into a war that had been raging for two years.
