December 7th went mostly unremarked here this year. Instead of standing in our back yard watching the ceremonies on USS Arizona, we were in the midst of packing up our apartment.
But I had to share this note home from a sailor on USS Enterprise from 1941. I think that there used to be stacks and stacks of these postcards for use in just such occasion. (For that matter, there is a family story of one of my uncles being stationed in Viet Nam and being ordered to sit down and write to his mom because it had been so long since he'd written that she'd contacted Red Cross.)
