Sorry but if this is an attempt at a joke, it's a very bad one, as my maternal grandfather was there at Hickam Field that morning.
As I see it, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (December 7), & Patriot Day (Spt. 11) need to be made Federal Holidays in place of MLK Day & Labor Day. Or instead of MLK Day, have it be called Civil Rights Day.
"Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives: Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 —
a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."
