FUN FACTS .................
PEARL HARBOR DAY - DECEMBER 7TH
Pearl Harbor Day, commemorates the Japanese attack on the U.S.
Naval base at Pearl Harbor. The attack began at dawn December 7, 1941.
It crippled the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and caused the U.S. to enter World War II.
During the attack at Pearl Harbor, over 2,400 American serviceman and
68 civilians were killed. Five of the eight battleships at Pearl Harbor
were sunk or sinking, and virtually all ships were damaged.
On Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, U.S. flags are to be flown at half staff.
On December 8, 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt stated in a speech
to Congress it was "..a day that will live in infamy". The U.S. then declared war on Japan.
POINSETTA DAY - DECEMBER 12TH
These beautiful flowers are a well-recognized symbol of Christmas.
Poinsettia Day was officially declared by an Act of Congress. It is in honor of Joel Roberts Poinsett, who died on December 12, 1851. Poinsett was the first Ambassador to Mexico . Poinsett brought this colorful plant back to his plantation in the U.S. He grew the plants in his Greenville, S.C plantation and gave them out as gifts to friends.
According to Mexican folklore, there is a story of a little poor girl who had
nothing to bring to church for Christmas. On her way to church, she picked some plants by the side of the road. As she entered the church, the leaves at the tips of the branches turned into bright, brilliant red flowers. You guessed it... Poinsettias.
