Today marks the 64th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Remember to say a prayer for the victims of the attack and for the survivors who have passed on. And remember to pray for the few who survived the attack and are still with us, veterans now in their mid-80's.
If you are interested in hearing how network radio broadcast the news of the attack, here are some MP3 files of broadcasts recorded on Dec. 7, 1941 (poor audio quality, but interesting nonetheless):
2:28 PM (EST) First news bulletin broadcast over NBC Red network (0:31):
