Well, Mr. Roosevelt, you were partially right.
Unfortunately, today people are too busy to care, and they are too concerned with the September 11, 2001 attacks. In other words sir, all those boys still inside the Arizona have pretty much been forgotten.
You see, Mr. President, the Americans of today could care less about the fact that in 1941, so many men died. Patriotism is reserved only for the men and women who are currently serving in Iraq. It surely does not help that every evening we have a real time update on the number of our men and women killed. To be honest, I would say that the average American probably couldnt tell you what happened at pearl harbor, or even where it is.
Mr. Roosevelt, tell those boys who stand with you now, that some of us do remember that day.
Sincerely,
Spc. 4, J. L. Franklin
