A Day That Would Live In Infamy

 

The slide displays the waterfront of Honolulu, Hawaii, as seen from Pearl Harbor, with the distinctive white structure of the USS Arizona Memorial visible in the foreground. 

The memorial marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed on the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. (Yes, 84 years ago, yesterday) The attack led to the United States' involvement in World War II. 

Bonus - Whereas, 39 years ago today, I started by current full-time job. Woo.

Bonus 2 - Most English Headline ever?

Tomorrow is Black Friday, when Americans decide that they don't have enough, and go mad in a frenzy of shopping.
