    Since I lived in Hawaii when it became a state (and Alaska when it was a territory during the Korean dustup), my dad was stationed at Hickam AFB,
    and saw bullet holes in buildings (yep, some are still there), I'm
    pretty sure I know. :-)

    Yes, you do. Today is the day of FDR's "Day of Infamy" speech. I know it by heart.

    Tt was the day my father (groom) and his brother (best man) finished a long drive completely across Illinois and Missouri so my parents could get
    married. They heard a newscast (few car radios then) after they arrived.

    Fortunately, Dad decided to work through the Friday graveyard shift and
    only start driving Saturday after a good "nights" sleep.

    If he had taken Friday off to get there for a Sunday wedding, their
    anniversary would always have been a day of infamy.
