AT DAWN WE SLEPT
All my life I was told that we must NEVER FORGET that this happened:
. . . that America let her guard down and a cunning, unethical enemy took advantage, blindsided us in a sneak attack at dawn.
And then it happened again, in my own lifetime:
We must never forget:
THE PRICE OF LIBERTY IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE
The title to this posting is borrowed from the book At Dawn We Slept: The Untold Story of Pearl Harbor by Gordon W. Prange, Donald M. Goldstein, Katherine V. Dillon
