 Jack’s Winning Words  12/7/22

“December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy.”  (FDR)  I would challenge you to write a definition of infamy without googling it.  Try 1/6/2020, 9/11/2001, 11/22/1963 and 12/7/1941.  How many can you match with the infamous acts that took place on those dates?  Pres Franklin Roosevelt has been well-known and respected for his use of the English Language.  Infamy is a perfect example.  It fits with Pearl Harbor Day, the Insurrection and those other events, too.  We could even examine our personal lives and finds days of infamy…accidents, tragedies, deaths.  I like the words of MLK Jr: “We shall overcome.”  ;-)  Jack
