Today in history, 1941: the Japanese military launch a surprise attack on the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. The United States declared war against Japan the next day, officially entering World War II. I covered the events of Pearl Harbor on the show last year - tune in if you haven’t already.

The unsung heroes of the attack on Pearl Harbor will always be the salvage crews. We need their story!

Capt John Cook

King Kamehameha I

A brief history of #PearlHarbor came to be established, a thread. In January of 1778, Capt Cook landed on the island of Kaua’i. In 1810 the islands became united under King Kamehameha I with help from outsiders. (1:5)

Dec 7, 1941 5:30 AM Hawaii Time #WWII Lt Commander Chigusa "As soon as all the crew jumped out of their beds on the order to "Get up," they went to combat quarters. The bow of my ship was covered with splashes from waves raised by the strong east wind of 14 m-15 m (29 kts-30 kts)"

Much prefer the name DEAD LETTER BRANCH to today’s anodyne “USPS Mail Recovery Center.” Far more interesting and curiosity-stoking.

IDEA: Rename “Post Office” as INTERGALACTIC PHYSICAL COMMUNICATIONS TRANSPORT HUB and watch revenue triple.
