December 7, 2005 - Today is the 64^th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.  Over 295,000 American men and women gave their lives fighting and winning the war which followed that attack.  Today we are engaged in a different war, following another attack, and America’s young men and women are once again fighting and dying for their country. I ask that you take a moment out from what you are doing and take a look through the following names of the men and women who gave their lives in 2005. No matter what you think about the US involvement in this war, these service people deserve your respect. Enjoy the upcoming holidays.  Thanks for a great 2004. See you next year.
