Pearl Harbor Day

In memory of Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, here are some pictures LeAnn and I took while on our honeymoon last summer.

Indians Welcome

This Thanksgiving marks the 40th anniversary of the American Indian occupation of Alcatraz Island. Here is a great PBS web site about the event (via MetaFilter). Below is a photo I took last Spring of the “Indians Welcome” sign that is still visible.
