I was 7 and lived on Oak St. when we got the Pearl Harbor news. The rush of insecurity ran through my family, especially since my cousin was there on the Arizona. As a child, I felt it strongly.

I had that same feeling return Tuesday. But as an adult, I now think of my children and grandchildren and wonder what kind of world I have brought them into.  I pray we can get through this and lead the world in a better understanding of tolerance. Only God can bring people together.

BTW my cousin was reported killed in action. But in January, we received a hand written letter from him dated in January. He had gotten through with only some small burns.
