December 7, 1941. Hard to believe no mention in any thread so far. Sixty seven years past is not that long ago.

Sixty seven years past is far enough back that even Joe Biden was not in the Senate back then.

[Alas Babylon!]

That picture comes from a photo taken during the actual attack. I do not know if someone lowered the flag to half-mast (DURING an attack) or more likely, since the Japs struck at 8:00AM, it was being raised at reveille, and they stopped the raising, quickly secured the halyards, and went off to fight!

Hey, I just found this thread in Breaking News: Sunday December 7th is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, so I'm posting it for all to REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR and how the patriots of our nation still remember.

Thanks to FReeper Dubya for the thread!
