Published: Dec. 7, 2020, 7:39 p.m.

Today is Pearl Harbor Day a day of remembrance for the lives lost 79-years ago when a surprise attack by Japanese forces on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii thrust the United States into World War II. We celebrate our veterans today by flying our flags at half-staff and talking wars' lessons of perseverance, sacrifice, and hope into our daily lives. We start by applying the advice from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt on facing fear to our current pandemic and leaning on our neighbor. Retired Executive Director of The Utah Department of Veterans Affairs, Terry Schow, joins Boyd to reflect on the significance of this day and let us know how we can spread Happiness For Heroes this Holiday Season.  ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
