75 years ago today was the horrific attack on Pearl Harbor that launched our country into
World War 2. Unless you were there, you can't imagine what it must have been like....
Some facts about that fateful day:
1. Crew of the Arizona was slow to respond...they were allowed to sleep in that day due to winning a dance contest the night before.
2. The radar crew on Oahu was newly trained and had never seen such a large formation before...they thought the radar was malfunctioning...
3. The attack was also considered a large failure...as the Japanese had intended to destroy our air craft carriers, but they were out to sea.
4. The Arizona still leaks up to 9 gallons of oil each day.
5. Twenty three sets of brothers was lost on board the Arizona
December 7th 1941 is indeed a day that changed our country forever and it is a day that will live in infamy.
Never Forget......
