Remembering Pearl Harbor, Decemeber 7, 1941

Today marks the 69th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I thought I would share a couple of sites with you that you might find interesting. Be sure to check out the links below. I hope everyone is enjoying the start to this busy holiday season. And here's a little bit of information for you, On December 7th, 1941, my grandmother was decorating for Christmas when she received word about the bombing of Pearl Harbor. To this day, she continues to start her holiday decorating on December 7th. Sometimes it's funny how we remember what we were doing on a certain day and then carry on that same tradition when something tragic or memorable happens.

Check out History Animated for some animations on the Pacific War.  Thank you to the blog "Free Technology for Teachers" for posting that site.
Also look at the National Geographic site on Remembering Pearl Harbor. There are photos, footage and first hand accounts available.
