This Independence Day marks more than fireworks—it celebrates 250 years of courage, sacrifice, and the stories that bind generations together. Beneath Pearl Harbor, in both adult and youth editions, invites readers of all ages to dive beneath the surface of history and experience the events that shaped a nation. Whether you’re a seasoned history lover or a curious young reader, these pages create a shared journey—where families can reflect, remember, and honor the legacy of those who served. This year, as we celebrate America’s milestone anniversary, come together and rediscover the past…because some stories are too important to be told just once.

Take a few minutes to dive in and enjoy this live roundtable conversation with Technology Revolution: The Future of Now's host and producer, Bonnie D. Graham. Authors Paul Mila, Gil Zeimer, and Eric Douglas—our “dancing divers”—share their scuba starts, make waves with their tales, and explore the future of underwater photography.

Wound cleansing and disinfection
All wounds should be cleansed at each dressing change, before and after debridement, and in the event of contamination using a neutral, nonirritating, nontoxic solution, and routine cleansing should be accomplished with every effort to minimize chemical and/or mechanical trauma.(60-61) An exception to the requirement for routine cleansing may be the recent application of a skin graft or cellular tissue product, which should be left undisturbed; in this case the surrounding skin should be cleansed.
