This year is the 83rd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan, an event that triggered the entry of the United States into World War II. To commemorate the event, every year, thousands of people gather on the shores of Pearl Harbor to remember the events of December 7, 1941, and to think about the long-lasting impact that day had upon everyone in our county. This day is an opportunity to honor the sacrifice, courage, and perseverance of what has become known as the Greatest Generation. And while we are honoring our courageous service members, let’s remember that many of them left their teaching positions to serve their country, and many of them became teachers at the end of their military service. Happy Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
