December 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy.
In church yesterday an old soldier reminded me of the significance of December 7th. He is a veteran of that war. There's not many of his comrades left today.
On December 7, 1941 in an attack that began a 0748 on a Sunday morning when sailors were sleeping in late, two waves totaling 353 aircraft attacked Kaneohe and Pearl Harbor. When the attack was done eight battleships, three cruisers, three destroyers, and one minelayer were sank or damaged. 188 aircraft were destroyed. 2,402 were killed and 1,282 were wounded.
Let us never forget The Greatest Generation.
