Dec. 9: Pearl Harbor, the Sandy aftermath and calendars

My good friend Ajax Lilly was aboard the West Virginia when the ship was bombed by the Japanese in Pearl Harbor on that Sunday in 1941 beginning at 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time. Lilly told the remarkable story of the encounter and I still recall the details

He just can't help himself. On the 71st anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Obama commemorated the somber occasion by honoring … President Obama. The White House Twitter account sent out this photo

The attack shocked the nation and exposed just how unprepared and vulnerable the United States was. Today, we commemorate the soldiers and citizens who lost their lives in the attack and their families, who were left

In less than 2 hours, the bombs that rained on Pearl Harbor robbed thousands of men, women, and children of their lives; in little more than a day, our country was thrust into the greatest conflict the world had ever known.
