What A Day
December 7th is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. And 9/11 has come to symbolize tragedy in our national lexicon. So I've often wondered why we don't stop and think for a while on April 14th.
I realize Lincoln is honored in many other ways, but I'm a bit surprised we don't have a moment of silence on April 14th, or flags at half mast.
By the way, if that's not bad enough, April 14th is also the day Titanic stuck an iceberg.

Kind of sad that Sept 11 is in there, but I don't think we should worry. It's already fading away.
I suppose the interesting thing is how Pearl Harbor has held on for so long. I think people must not like the Japs.
Remember the Maine.
I find that offensive. I also remember Vermont, though I do struggle with New Hampshire.
