SHORT TOUR OF PEARL HARBOR | Vintage Radio Broadcasts

On this anniversary of Pearl Harbor, I made this short walk-through video of the National Memorial. Many do not remember that Franklin Roosevelt wife was the first public figure to speak about the event.
Pearl Harbor is a U.S. naval base near Honolulu, Hawaii, that was the scene of a devastating surprise attack by Japanese forces on December 7, 1941. Just before 8 a.m. on that Sunday morning, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes descended on the base, where they managed to destroy or damage nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight battleships, and over 300 airplanes. More than 2,400 Americans died in the attack, including civilians, and another 1,000 people were wounded. The day after the assault, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan.

Good video, Dani, on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor!

Powerful and timely.
Such extraordinary men and women of that time.
Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech was cool to listen to, I don’t think I’ve hear it before.
