REMEMBER ALWAYS & NEVER FORGET: 7 DEC 1941
There was no Declaration of War until after the attack.
The United States of America was cold-cocked and sucker-punched on this date 73 years ago mostly due to the ignorance and ineptitude of C students in Washington D.C.
May God Bless the souls who gave their lives in voluntary sacrifice; and May God Bless the living who selflessly protect our Country from those who wish us dead.

In Memory of Erin O’Keefe
A somber ceremony at Pike’s Peak 1876. The dangers of the new frontier were many, and there were many horrible ways one could part from the living.
The U.S. Signal Service (an early Weather Bureau) built a telegraph station on the summit [of Pike’s Peak] in 1873 to monitor the weather, and a guard was posted in Manitou at the beginning of the trail to collect a toll for hiking to the summit.
In May of 1876, tragedy befell the O’Keefe family when their daughter Erin was apparently eaten by mountain rats. The true story may be found here.

UPDATE: BTW that’s Will Nunziata.
“Even if you’ve never seen Will Nunziata and Jerry Miller do their thing, you feel like you have while watching “Dystopia Gardens” at Dixon Place. Mr. Nunziata is the portly one, crass and fearless even (or is that especially?) when running around in his underwear.” [via]
