There are very few people who know the
date, and celebrate Pearl Harbor Day. The few who celebrate this holiday do
different things. Some people rest the whole day, and some people pray the whole
day. Other people make an annual visit to Pearl Harbor on Pearl Harbor Day.
Pearl Harbor day has become no more than
a mention on most calendars, however, the date represents a great blow to our
military in the South Pacific and the start of World War II for our country.
Take a few minutes today to remember those who have fallen and what the sacrifices
they and all of the men and women in military service have done to protect this
country and democracy.
Pearl Harbor Day Gift Ideas:
Travel:
A fantastic gift for your spouse significant other, veteran or just anyone would
be a trip to Hawaii where you can see Pearl Harbor for Yourself.
Books
on Pearl Harbor, World War II and Hawaii.
Significant
books provoking anti-war feelings or feelings of the pathos
of war, or about peace, e.g., George Bernard Shaw's - Arms
and the Man, or John Dryden's English translation of
Virgil's - The Aeneid, or any other relevant book, with the same theme.
Movies:
The movie Pearl Harbor, or a WWII
movie.
Tender things, like flowers, specially white flowers, might always stand against the ugliness of war. A bunch of
fresh white roses, or even lillies, to symobolically imply the want of divinity
or peacefulness for the day.
