I didn’t know that there was a Ft. Bragg, California.

While there weren’t any invasions on US soil (territory, yes in Alaska and Hawaii) there were shellings by the Japanese including one in Oregon neat Ft Stewart or whatever it was called and sinking of US vessels in sight of the coast in the LA area. That must have been scary to see... but the Germans also used subs to land spies and saboteurs.
