Where were you, your parents or grandparents on the Day of Infamy?
Nothing would ever be the same after that day, December 7, 1941, the day Imperial Japanese airplanes attacked U.S. naval fleets and air force bases in Hawaii and began our country's participation in World War II.
Before the end of the Second World War ended, millions of American would be drafted to serve in the American armed forces and citizens everywhere would join together to support a national war effort.
And it all began seventy-two years ago this week, December 7th 1941.
How long did it take them to hear of the attack in the days before television and Internet? How were their lives affected? Did your family plant a Victory garden, collect tin foil, or participate in scrap drives for the war effort? Do they remember rationing? How did rationing affect your family and community?
