A Dark and Challenging Day

MJG

Hi Guys,

I’m old enough to remember the horrific day of December 7, 1941. The air attack on Pearl Harbor that day was shocking, and caused much fear among my family and friends. We feared that recovery of our fleet would never happen. But it did, and quickly too. That’s a lasting tribute to our toughness and resiliency. I believe we still retain those admirable characteristics. Here’s a Link that documents that dark day with some exceptional photos.

A better reference film is at:

That day is easily remembered for me since almost daily I see the old Iowa battleship. It was built during WWII. It’s yet another monument to our tenacity. We do recover and stay the course, which isn’t ‘t a bad characteristic for investing too. Stay healthy and remember that unexpected and tragic day in our history. History never repeats itself, but iit’s a great teacher.

Best Regards

And wouldn't you know: there was just a day or two ago a damn crazy-ass idiot shooting up the place, down at Pearl. (I'm on the other side, the Windward side.) I'm trying with no luck to get this stoopid Apple laptop to show me the URL to the news story from here, so I can post and share it. Crap. This is only a picture. https://www.khon2.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2019/12/fc20fca3c43b4075860fdb6e61f0956c.jpg?w=960&h=540&crop=1
