Pearl Harbor

I've been noting anniversaries lately, so I might as well make mention of this one, as well. Sixty-four years ago today, Japan attacked the U.S. Fleet at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. By the time the fourth anniversary of that tragedy rolled around, the United States and the Allied Forces had defeated the Japanese empire in the Pacific and Hitler's Nazi Germany in Europe. But it was a different world then . . .

National Geographic has a really sharp Pearl Harbor page. Not surprisingly, the U.S. Navy has some good online material, as well. You can start with their Pearl Harbor FAQ and check out some photos. Both pages have copious links to other material.
