On this day 7 years ago my brother’s wife died in a terrible car crash.

On this day, today, the socialist party of Venezuela suffered its first major defeat since its founder, Mr. Chavez, was elected 17 years ago this date.

On this day 74 years ago the Japanese attacked the U.S. Navy base in Perl Harbor, Hawaii marking the USA entrance into World War II.

Some of these events are tragic to some and some are not tragic to some. I am sure other great tragedies, small and large, have occurred on this date. Yet life goes on; my brother lives on without his dear wife; the democratic reforms of socialist part are still there; the USA military once again reigns supreme. Tragedies come and go as time just goes on.
