~ Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941 ~

On Sunday, December 7th, 1941 the Japanese launched a surprise attack against the U.S. Forces stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. By planning his attack on a Sunday, the Japanese commander Admiral Nagumo, hoped to catch the entire fleet in port. As luck would have it, the Aircraft Carriers and one of the Battleships were not in port. (The USS Enterprise was returning from Wake Island, where it had just delivered some aircraft. The USS Lexington was ferrying aircraft to Midway, and the USS Saratoga and USS Colorado were undergoing repairs in the United States.) In spite of the latest intelligence reports about the missing aircraft carriers (his most important targets), Admiral Nagumo decided to continue the attack with his force of six carriers and 423 aircraft. At a range of 230 miles north of Oahu, he launched the first wave of a two-wave attack. Beginning at 0600 hours his first wave consisted of 183 fighters and torpedo bombers which struck at the fleet in Pearl Harbor and the airfields in Hickam, Kaneohe and Ewa. The second strike, launched at 0715 hours, consisted of 167 aircraft, which again struck at the same targets. At 0753 hours the first wave consisting of 40 Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" torpedo bombers, 51 Aichi D3A1 "Val" dive bombers, 50 high altitude bombers and 43 Zeros struck airfields and Pearl Harbor. Within the next hour, the second wave arrived and continued the attack.

Good evening/morning, combat_boots.....I knew a few of my Dad’s friends that felt the same way.

Howdy there, E.G.C.

It looks like your ISP has finished maintenance and gotten service back to y’all! YAY!

[E.G.C.]

Yes, it has. We were off for a half hour yesterday around 9:30ish AM CST but haven’t been off ever since. Hopefully it will stay that way. We’ll see.

[radu]

Whew! It sounded like you were going to be without internet for a longer period. Glad it was so brief.
No fun being without the ‘net!

[E.G.C.]

((LOL))Nope, no fun without the Internet.

Good morning, Canteen. Good morning to our

AWESOME

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.
Guess I'll pull out the old photos that someone found
(which were found in an old camera).

GOD rest their souls.

Sorry, but must post-n-run again today.
I need to get an early start for Walmart to pick up a few things.
I like to get there early and out
before most people wake up.

Please stick around and visit with the military
and/or family members.
That's what we're here for.

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
