  1. As an American History buff myself, I appreciate when someone takes the time to post or remember important days in our history. This is almost a month before Pearl Harbor.

    This was a very tense and scary time for the USA.

    Thanks for posting.

  2. Loree - thank you! We always remember the surprise attack, but there was truly a build-up of tension, both with Japan & Germany.
