WE WERE AT WAR DECEMBER 8, 1941

I am not sure why I decided to do a show about the attack on Pearl Harbor.  I just know the story can never be forgotten.

• I start with a quote from FDR
• I took a "trip" back in time to when in junior and senior high we had split lunch periods and we had feature films for 20 minutes - badly edited ones at that.  War movies and westerns.
• I discuss films about Pearl Harbor
• I was at the Pearl Harbor Memorial - I cried
• What were people in Hawaii doing on Saturday?  
• Pearl Harbor was attacked on Sunday morning.
• How did this happen?
• 3500+ died
• Sept 1940 the US put an embargo on Japan
• Japan kept getting aggressive then countries froze their assets
• They wanted the oil embargo lifted and if not they would go to war.
• The US knew an attack was imminent
• Radar showed planes but the aircraft were thought to be US B-17s
• The attack was brutal
• I paint a vivid picture of that morning
• A day which will live in infamy.
• Tora Tora Tora - Tiger Tiger Tiger
• They knew everything about us
• They took out air defenses and then attacked our ships
• Today Hawaii's economy depends on tourism both from the US and Japan
• We must never allow this to happen again.
• Willy's letter home
• Clean underwear
• Shower lines
• Coffee and doughnuts
• Did you know soldiers were not allowed to buy food at restaurants while on leave?
• Anyone know what got packed into a combat pack?
