The Advertiser & the Star Bulletin are the two main papers with almost equal distribution. It looks like they're both a day behind. It's on the front page of the printed versions of both today "A day to remember" but still under the story about the five local solders who just died. I don't watch the local news that much but there was nothing on the radio, etc. I clearly remember that the 60th anniversary was a very big deal around here. There were several public events leading up to a big shindig at the base. I drive by the place everyday to work & it's business as usual. No signs or piles of flowers, etc. Yeah…

Why did the Japanese attack us on that day of infamy? Did they think they were going to take us over? Did they just wake up that morning and decide it was a good day for a sneak attack on the "sleeping giant"? What did your history books tell you back in high school? Did anybody ever try to explain to you (not you per se, figuratively) the reasons for the attack? Dig around a bit - you may be surprised at what you uncover.

The local paper lead with this headline and snippet. Five Schofield soldiers killed in Iraq Five Task Force Lightning Soldiers assigned to 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, were killed yesterday as a result of an explosion near their vehicle while conducting combat operations in Kirkuk Province. The story about Pearl harbor was way down the list as the 19th item. It was listed under how a local band was nominated for a Grammy. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage The only reason I even knew today was the anniversary was because of this blog post.
