Building a better tomorrow in Virginia and in America, is remembering and honoring our history and traditions. Unfortunately, as we have realized from the protests on college campuses, to the failure of teaching basic civics in our classrooms, we have to renew our focus to educate the next generation. Eighty-two years ago today, on a clear December morning, our country was attacked at Pearl Harbor. Until 9/11, the deadliest attack on United States soil, kiling thousands. The next day, our Nation joined World War II and through sacrifice, defeated facism. We need to honor and remember those men and women that gave their all for America's freedom. |

| Tomorrow, the Jewish community will begin the Hanukkah holiday but we all know that due to the attacks in early October in Israel, that this Hanukkah will also be a time of rememberance. A time to pray for all those innocent people slaughtered by Hamas. A time to reflect on the lives cut short by extremists. The Catholic community worldwide will be gathering also tomorrow for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. A day to remember Mary, the Theotokos, her obedience to God and the coming birth of Jesus. Let us draw inspiration from Mary's bravery in saying "yes" to God's plan, and find the courage to do the same in our own lives. For a #BetterTomorrow, we must remember and learn from our history, honor our traditions and be ready to fight for our freedoms that others will endeavor to violate. |
