Press release from Birmingham Public Library: Roy L. Williams December 07, 2021 Today as the nation remembers the heroes who died and were injured that fateful day, many U.S. veterans say the 80th anniversary is an example of why America must unite today. "When we're united as a country, we cannot be defeated," one New York-based veteran, a father of four, told Fox News Digital. "That's my takeaway. What happened after Pearl Harbor shows that when we stand together, we cannot be beat. A lot of young guys enlisted during World War II to be part of the war effort. Many of them were even underage. They wanted to help this country — to help our country. They wanted us to win. There was a feeling of unity toward a common goal."  To learn more about the attack on Pearl Harbor, you can check out many books and DVDs from members of the Public Libraries of Jefferson County, (JCLC) including the Birmingham Public Library.   Can't see the table below?
