The Day had a nice opinion page piece by James F. Burns, “Haunting Pearl Harbor connection almost slips away,” (Dec. 6). He wrote, if "you're not sure if something happened or not, but it's something important — don't let it slip away. Don't let it vanish.

On Dec. 7, the front page of The Day had four virus related pieces and only that. On the back page of the section was a story about Mickey Ganitch, a Pearl Harbor attack survivor, and the story was also related to the virus in curtailing his annual visit to the Arizona Memorial in Hawaii.

Does The Day read its own opinion page? It would have been much more appropriate on Dec. 7 to put that article on the front page, would it not? And maybe a bold headline remembering Dec. 7, 1941, when the United States was attacked, you know, “A date that will live in infamy"?

“Don’t let it slip away. Don’t let it vanish.”

The Day, by omission, is participating in the ignorance of, cancellation of, and rewriting of history, which is a clear and present danger to our society.
