Pearl Harbor remembered.
"December 7th-a day which will live in infamy."  We lost a lot of good men and women on this fateful day.  The Japanese calculated that if they hit us, we would cripple as a result.  How short sighted, and egotistical were they?  They woke a sleeping giant, and they made a huge tactical error in assuming our carriers would be in port. They would go on to pay a very heavy price for their actions.  May the brave men and women who gave all on that fateful day, and in the years to come be remembered for their sacrifices.  Rest in Peace.

Lest we EVER forget.

Re: Pearl Harbor remembered.
Dad was on leave in New York City when the bombing occurred. The MP's were running around dragging guys out of the bars and cathouses and throwing them on the beach.  Rumors were rampant that the Japanese were attacking from both coasts.  Dad's first weapon of war was an entrenching tool. He filled sandbags for several days.  They didn't have enough ammo on hand to outfit the coastal defenses, so when he finally got a rifle, he was issued one stripper clip of ammo and told to not waste it.

I'm pretty sure the Krauts were sending U-Boats to our east coast to disrupt shipping before Pearl Harbor.  Can anyone confirm?

You're correct.  I fished a shipwreck for cobia down off the South Carolina coast near Charlestown.  It had been sunk by a German U-boat.
