- #From the Japan Times: "Yasushi Chimura and his wife, Fukie, abducted by North Korea in 1978 but repatriated in 2002, expressed relief Friday that their children [now ages 27, 25, and 21] are adapting smoothly to Japanese life as they marked the fifth anniversary of their arrival in Japan."
- #Via the NYT: "Former President Roh Moo-hyun of South Korea, who had been under criminal investigation for corruption, died on Saturday from a fall while hiking on a hill near his retirement home... it was unclear whether the fall was accidental or whether Mr. Roh had committed suicide ... Roh left a will, indicating that the death might have been a suicide." While the man never should have been president, it's sad to see what likely was a suicide.

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.
