Yesterday, December 7, was the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Franklin Roosevelt was the president and acted swiftly, with Congress, and declared war on December 8, 1941. FDR is considered to be one of our most influential and important presidents, yet he declared war, thus hurling our country into a World War.

In contrast, George W. Bush was the president on September 11, 2001 and he launched an attack in the Middle East on people he thought had contributed to the attacks.

Thinking about those two leaders, one is highly respected universally and one is not seen in the same regards. Why do you think that is? Both had an attack on their country and responded. Did it have something to do with their leadership skills? Or did it have to do with the state of our country? Interesting things to ponder, but undoubtedly we appreciate all who sacrifice for our country.
