A date which will live in infamy
December 7, 1941
71 years ago today.
I lived in Hawaii on two occasions. I was there when it became a state. We went back for a second tour from 1967 to 1971. Our house in Wiaphau overlooked Pearl Harbor. We could see them filming Tora Tora Tora.
The following is a list of how many people were killed on Dec. 7, 1941 as a result of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
•US Navy: 2,008 KIA
•USMC: 109 KIA
•US Army: 218 KIA
•Civilians: 68
Total: 2,403 killed.
Thank you to all that served and thank you to all that are serving.
