Friday Fling #261 for December 6th 2013<\/font>
\n
\n <\/font><\/strong><\/font> <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

This weekend’s December 7th marks the 72nd anniversary<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

of the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese,<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

which brought the US into <\/font>World War Two.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

We thought that rather than focus on the disaster<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

that was the Pearl Harbor attack,<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

we would take the opportunity of this anniversary<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

to <\/font>write about anything related to our ultimate victory in that conflict.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

We find this particularly of value<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

since in recent decades American history<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

has been taught largely from a negative <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

rather than positive perspective.<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Yet one could easily argue that nothing boosted <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

American national pride or standing in the world <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

than our role in the Second World War.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling celebrates American successes in World War Two!<\/font>

on your fellow Pals’ poetic productions.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Then memorialize Pearl Harbor Day in your own preferred way!<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
