Remembering Pearl Harbor Online

On Dec 7, 1941, The United States suffered a brazen and unprecedented attack when The Japanese launched an air raid on Pearl Harbor. Sixty-five years later the "date which will live in infamy" is even commemorated at many sites on the world wide web. Here are just a few worth checking out:
  • The Naval Historical Center, an official U.S. Navy web site, offers a great historical overview page on the Pearl Harbor Raid complete with unforgettable images and links to additional resources like a Frequently Asked Questions section.
  • At NationalGeographic.com you'll find Remembering Pearl Harbor, which includes a multimedia map, attack time line, and even an archive of survivors' stories among other highlights.
  • The Miller Nichols Library Collection at The University of Missouri-Kansas City has a Pearl Harbor page featuring clips of radio newscasts as well as the full text and audio recording of Roosevelt's famous speech!
