To: Kathy in Alaska
And it began.....Pearl Harbor bombing.....

“At a range of 230 miles north of Oahu, launching of the first wave of a two-wave attack.

Beginning at 0600 hours ....the 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.”

Kathy,.... Thank you for this thread....

And a Prayer,

Lord ..may we always be grateful for our country and the many who layed down their life that we might remain a free nation......And as we remember this day may we also be mindful that catastrophe can happen suddenly....keep our nation alert Lord...and eyes to see and hear when the enemy of freedom seeks to destroy.

In Jesus name...Amen
