As I See It Promoting T ethnology Education For Middle Level Students by Shirley Dec. 7, 1941, the day Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was the incident which brought a sleeping nation to their feet and the United States President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, to publicly address the nation and declare war against Japan and Germany. The older populace of Summit County well remember gathering around the family radio to hear their President make this declaration of war. Many remembered World War I and had hoped never to see such a thing come again, at least not in their lifetime. The children and youth in 1941 were too young and innocent to worry. After all, everyone thought the war would be over before they would be old enough to be drafted. How wrong they were. North and South Summit felt the loss of young people who had just recently been in high school. A blue star hanging in a window meant a family member was serving in die armed forces and a gold one meant the family had lost someone fighting for their country. Remember Pearl Harbor was the entire countries motto and patriotism was high. Many were drafted, but a large number of men joined the ranks by signing up. Even though some were turned down for different reasons, they had made the effort and would have gone if they had been accepted. The radio played patriotic tunes all through die day and the movies portrayed our brave people in every division of the Armed Services with John Wayne, Van Johnson, William Bendix, and Henry Fonda as the toughest and smartest of die bunch always leading their men to victory, but sometimes giving their lives to do it only to show up again die next week as a hero of another battle. The ever traveling Bob Hope, and other entertainers, tried to bring a little home and sunshine to a few and, was for even a brief moment, a d and homesick soldiers. little bit of humor for To most everyone, 50 years of age or younger. Pearl Harbor is as remote and far back in history as is Columbus landing in America in war-tire- 1492. Weapons, aircraft, ships, and other wartime tactics used during the second world war are so obsolete now that they are only found in museums and are displayed as antique objects. Yet, they w ere used to kill hundreds, destroyed property and yes, finally to give the Allies a victory, but not before paying a price we hope will never have to be paid again. Perhaps we should never forget the hurt, the loss, and the tears of past wars in order to cherish our freedoms and hope we are never again caught unprepared and so vulnerable to invaders who would like nothing better titan to bring the United States to her knees.
