From the Dong-a Ilbo: “President of the Families of Abducted and Detained in North Korea, confirmed yesterday at a press conference, ‘A former South Korean soldier surnamed Kim is currently staying in a third country. He crossed the North Korean border at around 10 p.m. on June 14. He joined the South Korean army in August 1951 at age 17. He is now 74 years old.’”
- #GI Korea has an excellent and lengthy post on the background, events, and aftermath of the 2002 accident where a U.S. armored vehicle killed to schoolgirls. I arrived in Korea a few days after the accident, but things didn't start to heat up until two months later, as I was returning to the States.
- #Via Reuters: “…there was strong suspicion a huge shipment of methamphetamines seized at the former U.S. navy base of Subic north of Manila this week came from clandestine drugs laboratories in North Korea.” The Joker took over Batman’s abandoned cave.
- #From TimesOnline: "THE first case of murder and suicide caused by North Korea’s new food crisis has emerged with the account of a man who killed his hungry wife and children and then took his own life in despair." This report can't be confirmed, but it is entirely plausible.

The day that FDR declared would live in infamy is fading from our national memory. When I was a kid back in the 70s, I used to watch WWII movies like Tora, Tora, Tora and Midway with my dad. At school and at home, the significance of Pearl Harbor Day was noted every December 7. Nowadays, December 7 is just another day on the calendar.

Sonagi,
Thanks for the links.
I’ve been to the Arizona Memorial half a dozen times, so I don’t think I can forget the anniversary.
You’re right about the decline in recognizing the significant of 7 December, though I believe it is still mentioned and explained at the Midwestern elementary schools some of my nieces and nephews attend.
But I didn’t see much about it on mainstream news. Disappointing, but not unexpected.
