Remembering Pearl Harbor today, and that we, as a nation, have sacrificed much over the years to have freedoms: speech, religion, press, the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Whatever your political persuasion, take a moment today to think of how you can best ensure […]
