    I finally understand the true, heartfelt meaning of that phrase as a unifying declaration rather than a bombastic defiant declaration of patriotism.

    I still remember in 1968 entering/leaving Pearl Harbor, while in the U.S. Navy and we manned the rail in dress uniform and as we were coming on to the USS Arizona, it was Attention and all hands rendered and maintained a hand salute and then Carry on as our ship was passed the USS Arizona. I still get choked up thinking about it.

    It does seem that each year that there are fewer and fewer references to this date.

    It should never be forgotten.

    Never forget! We enjoy our freedoms today because of the commitment and heroism of those from "The Greatest Generation". Sadly, many of those heroic stories were never shared by the proud individuals involved. And time and generations are dimming memories......

    My father fought in the Pacific too, with the 32nd "Red Arrow" Division. Such places as New Guinea, Leyte, Luzon, etc.

    Never forget.

    A solemn recognition indeed. On another note, on this day in 1787, Delaware became the First State to ratify the Constitution of the United States.
