Early on a beautiful Sunday morning 83 years ago, the world changed.

At 7:55 a.m local. on December 7, 1941, the attack begins.

Pearl Harbor Attack

The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor to remove what it saw as a threat to the empire’s southern expansion. The Pearl Harbor attack hurt us badly, but it also hardened our resolve and brought us fully into WWII.

Snopes has some photos that were purported to be found in an old Brownie camera years after the attack. The story was untrue, but the photos are archival and genuine.

The U.S. Navy has a Pearl Harbor site with more photos.

Chris at A Large Regular has linked to this National Geographic Pearl Harbor site in the past. It has a multimedia timeline, survivor stories, a kid’s section, and more.

Someday we’ll get to see the Arizona Memorial.

Our old cordless vacuum with integrated handheld reached the end of its life 5-1/2 years after we bought it so it’s time for a new one.

Amazon Cyber Monday has a great deal on the Shark Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum and we’ve had great luck with the Shark family of appliances so we’ve ordered one and we’ll receive it on Friday!
