A lot of Americans believed that whatever Hitler was doing in
Europe and Tojo was doing in the Far East, none of it was any of our
business. Let them blow each other to smithereens, we have no worries;
not with two great oceans protecting us. The tune changed with the
surprise attack on U.S. army and naval forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in December 1941. Then, the
rush was on
to enlist; to show those goose-stepping goons just what it meant
to sucker-punch
ole Uncle Sam. Out of the farms and cities across America came the
folks to comprise the largest, strongest, fastest, smartest, most well
equipped and supplied Army this world had ever known. The sleeping giant was awake and filled with a terrible resolve; "Remember Pearl Harbor!"
