"On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Empire launched a surprise attack
on Pearl Harbor killing over 2,000 service members. The attack would
bring the United States into the Second World War."

Not many citizens alive today, were alive then... So this is not a Big Remembrance. I was alive then, and I remember WWII. So, I will remember.

Do you Dear Reader, have any examples in your own life, to add and share? ,-)
With luck, more pics and *stuff* coming, tomorrow... :-)

Those look like mine lol I wonder why they aren't talking about. It today ?
My dad paused and remembered on this day every year.
Wonderful tribute Auntie
No, I do not remember "this day that will live in infamy," but I should remember it! Thank you for reminding me.
Auntie, if you don't get a new set of measuring cups for Christmas... Oh my!
I was born at the end of the war but i do remember. what is a measuring cup? ha ha ho ho he he.. I have two glass cups but nothing like this. when one does not cook by recipe one does not need these. your cups look like my keyboards on both computers. i have 5 letters worn off on one and 3 on the other...
Pearl Harbor Day - my parents had just got married on Nov. 22 and my dad was sent away for two years.
Have a good day. Sandie
Having been born in 1957, I wasn't around when the bombing of Pearl Harbor happened but we did learn about it in school and every year they talk about it in the news. It definitely is a day we should never forget!!
My measuring cups looked very similar to yours before I finally bought myself a new set! lol As you say, sometimes it's little things like that, that you never think of buying while at the store.
I'm finally finding the time to visit some blogs again!!! I hope you're enjoying these days leading to Christmas dear Auntie:-) xoxo
Though I wasn't alive I do remember learning about the day.
My mom started a new job in the Post Office on this same day when I was in the third grade and I always remember the two things together.
I have an old potato peeler that I've had since I've been married. My daughter once bought me a new one, I used it once and went back to my old one. I like it best!!
I finally broke down and bought a new set of measuring cups not long ago. I really need a new set of cookware as I'm still using the stainless steel set we got for a wedding gift 41 years ago. One saucepan has had the handle come off. Probably because the older stuff shouldn't be put in the dishwasher, but I do it anyway.
I was born 5 years after the Pearl Harbor attack. I'd heard much about WWII from my FIL who fought in the war.
Have a great weekend!
Hi Auntie
Well I know that, but didn't really "remember" until you just mentioned it. Too much going on in my little mind...
I have metal measuring cups with the measurements stamped into the metal - love them!

I remembered it too but not the War...(born in '51).

I was born in 1947. My dad fought in that war. I see you are going to be having a great time with your new books this weekend.

It was a terrible day...My Frank has been watching all the world war two movies today. War is a horrible thing...but will always be with us. Your right about how quickly we forget...I still need the numbers on my measuring cups and spoons. :)
I wasn't born then, but I still remember... it affected those around me in some way, and I will continue to remember until the day I die...
Now, for your measurin' cups... Scrub the rest of that icky black off, get you a Sharpie and re-label those guys. They still work! Only person that ever sees 'em is you. Unless you want some purdy ones to use when company comes - then I'd go get me some more!
