\"\"<\/a>Although I was not even alive when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, I will never forget it. Sometimes I’ll change my Facebook profile picture to recognize the anniversary and sometimes I make a blog post, such as this one, to note the day. Even when I do neither, I still remember.

It remained closed through the 2018 anniversary of the attack but reopened on September 1 of this year.<\/p>\n
