Sixty-three years ago today, another attack on Americans took place...in Pearl Harbor on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.
National Geographic has an excellent multi-media map and timeline that walks you through the attack that fateful day that the United States was forced to join the fighting in World War II.
On that day, 2,390 lives were lost.
The U S S Arizona still lies at the bottom of Pearl Harbor; oil still leaks and bubbles to the water's surface.
An eyewitness account describes the horror of the attack those 63 years ago.
Today, I honor the lost soldiers of the Pearl Harbor attack.
