That is some picture. That along with 9/11 are historic events that IMO, people should be reminded daily of. I remember when I was a kid before cable TV, every night the TV stations would sign off with the national anthem. I think that all stations should show some sort of remeberence/salute to the troops every night. It only has to be a minute or two (say at 11:00 before the news). It could be either the nation anthem or God Bless America with footage of Pearl Harbor, 9/11 and then a salute to all active, retired and troops who gave there all. Those two things changed this country and people should be reminded daily that there are people out there that hate us our country and what we stand for. Maybe people will realize how good they have it.
