December 7, 1941
Though
young I still remember
how
on that fateful day,
the
look of shock in mother’s eyes
said
that our world had just turned gray.
Then
came the deprivation...
rationing
for our army’s needs.
The
radio and the cinema
swelled
our hearts with their brave deeds.
Resolve
and toil helped win that war...
near
eighty years our land stands free,
but
those who bore that world war
know
we must watch foes constantly.
