Questing
I usually commemerate Pearl Harbor Day in some way every year, but
missed it yesterday. I’m making up for it today, by linking to
this lovely piece that I heard on NPR about an 84-year-old WWII vet,
who is working to identify the unidentified bodies of soldiers killed
by that attack. I find his story somewhat inspiring, to have a
quest in old age to honor the dead, and to return them to their
families. Such solemn and solitary work.

Oh, and today marks the 25th-anniversary of the shooting of John Lennon. Slate has posted an early Beatles photoset.
