A date which will live in infamy

American familes were touched by the attack on Pearl Harbor. My mother very clearly remembers that Sunday afternoon, Dec 7 1941, her Dad was painting the dining room ceiling. When the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor came across the radio, he stopped painting and went immediately to the office. He worked for Western Electric. The line across the ceiling remained there through out the war. What story does your family have about Dec 7 ,1941?

Read more about Pearl Harbor in the Encyclopedia. We have moved a print set of Comptons Encyclopedia to the circulating collection. You may borrow a volume of the encyclopedia and take it home to read!

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
