Pearl Harbor - December 7, 1941

No . . . I didn't forget about Pearl Harbor Day.

"A day that will live in infamy." These words would be spoken by Franklin D. Roosevelt about the historical event that would bring the United States into World War II.

I always think about the men and women that died on that day. And, the men and women that would die in World War II for my freedom.

To hear FDR's speech, check out the link here (scan to the bottom of the page and click on the media that best suits your computer).

To read/learn more about Pearl Harbor, I would suggest the following resources:
*National Park Service (Attention teachers: they have some great oral histories to use in the classroom with your students - even an oral history from a Japanese pilot and his interpretation of the attack).
*National Geographic - They have a great interactive map of the event.
*ERIC - Remembering Pearl Harbor Lesson Plan - you can download the teaching document in a PDF file. Some decent teaching activities.
*Free Federal Resources for Educational Excellence - Some great teaching resources from the Library of Congress and National Archives.

Remember Pearl Harbor . . . . .
