Ret SCPO RAISED THE COLORS AT 8 AM!
Baldderdash! The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred on a Sunday, so reports of it could not have appeared in a South Carolina newspaper that morning. The attack had not yet occurred when a South Carolina Sunday School was meeting that day.
I remain incredulous at the ignorance of journalists.
Remembering Pearl Harbor Day today.
And thanks to the men and women of the DoD in the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency and the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System in Hawaii who are working to identify the unknown dead from the USS Oklahoma such as the two sailors identified and brought home in the last month: http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/arlington/article156870064.html

On all the Pearl Harbor threads today I’m inviting everyone to check out the 50-minute documentary my son made for his Eagle Scout Project about USS Arizona survivor Lou Conter. After Pearl Harbor, Mr. Conter went on to become a bomber pilot. Truly fascinating stories, and we’re very proud of the film. Available ad-free on You Tube. Find the link at witnesstoinfamy.com.

I was 5 at the time and remembering my brother taking me to the movies and telling me the news reels were going to show Pearl Harbor
I didn’t have any idea what he was talking about
But I remember the ensuing War years very well especially the airplanes flying over and when at the Jersey Shore you could hear the 50s going off as they practiced for air combat over the ocean
