My South Park Avatars

I received my Christmas card from the sister the other day. With the card, they included an insert about them by the numbers. One item that caught my eye was the tip on obtaining a South Park Avatar.

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

Per President George W Bush proclamation, White House – National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, today is commemorated as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. It is the 66^th Anniversary of this event. Let us remember the sacrifice this generation made for us in order for us to have what we have today. Here is the “Remember Dec 7^th!” Poster from the Naval Historical Center archives:

It is an important day for our American WWII veterans. They are becoming fewer and fewer each day. This was documented earlier this week in The Honolulu Advertiser – Fewer Pearl Harbor Day vets in Hawaii. So, let us honor them, as we honor those who serve today and remember all other veterans from other wars.

The National Park Service in Honolulu holds special events on this day. Check their website, National Park Service – USS Arizona Memorial, about the memorial, and today’s Pearl Harbor Day 2007 Events.
