Today marks the 68th anniversary of the event that sent the US officially into World War II. I say "officially" because it was very apparent we were preparing for the war years in advance.
How we were caught so much by surprise is still a mystery to me. It should never have happened.
I have written many entries about Pearl Harbor on my http:cootershistorything.blogspot.com blog.
Sadly, the ranks of the survivors of the event grow thinner every passing day.
Pearl Harbor is a major interest of mine ever since I read Walter Lord's book "Day of Infamy" back in junior high. My students had a one and later three day mini lesson on it the last twenty years I taught.
This is also my seventh entry for the month.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
