Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan...
After having seen the World War II memorial in DC, this day is all the more meaningful.
Some excellent Pearl Harbor links:
National Parks Service: USS Arizona Memorial
US Navy's Pearl Harbor Site
National Geographic's Pearl Harbor Site (sigh--ignore the links for the awful movie)
Pearl Harbor Remembered
Pearl Harbor Attacked
Eyewitness to History: Pearl Harbor (this entire site is fascinating)
Facsimilie of Roosevelt's Speech to Congress
I'll have to watch my copy of
The Waltons' "Day of Infamy" tonight. It captures the individual reactions of Americans on that day quite well.
