PEARL HARBOR DAY – 82 YEARS LATER

Sunday morning December 7th, 1941

Published

on

Both of my Grandfathers served in World War II. One left The Citadel when they closed the school and went on to fly on a heavy bomber … one was ground and pounding and a mean guy on the front lines (at least that is what I have been told – lol). My paternal grandmother also served … as a young nurse … and my maternal grandmother had FIVE brothers physically Pearl Harbor that infamous day, and it was weeks before my great-grandmother and the rest of the family knew they were all safe. All from right here in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Imagine, three kids (or eight including my great-uncles) in their late teens / early twenties … today … going off to war. It was a different time for sure!!!

Pearl Harbor Day always hits me as I reflect on what my grandparents could have thought and felt on Sunday morning December 7th, 1941. Were they excited … or scared? Did they have any idea how their lives would change? And what must my 5 great-uncles have felt seeing Japanese’s Zeros and carrier bombers flying overhear … and hearing the “super-dreadnought” USS Arizona (HERE) explode killing 1,177 officers and crewmen. How would I (or you) feel in any of their shoes?

I wish I was a high school teacher to put a few seniors through that “thought exercise” today.

Veterans Day 2025

& Poland Independence Day!

Published

on

Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with holidays in several countries, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which also occur on the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May: Veterans Day commemorates the service of all U.S. veterans, while the older Memorial Day, which grew out of Civil War commemorations, specifically honors those who have died while in military service. Another military holiday that also occurs in May, Armed Forces Day, honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. Additionally, Women Veterans Day is recognized by a growing number of U.S. states that specifically honor women who have served in the U.S. military.

BONUS CONTENT – POLAND INDEPENDENCE DAY: Independence Day (Polish: Narodowe Święto Niepodległości) is a national day in Poland celebrated on 11 November to commemorate the anniversary of the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty as the Second Polish Republic in 1918 from the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires. Following the partitions in the late 18th century, Poland ceased to exist for 123 years until the end of World War I, when the destruction of the neighboring powers allowed the country to reemerge. It is a non-working day and a flag flying day in Poland.
