This Day in History: Dec 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor was Bombed-At 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time, a Japanese dive bomber bearing the red symbol of the Rising Sun of Japan on its wings appears out of the clouds above the island of Oahu, A swarm of 360 Japanese warplanes followed, descending on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in a ferocious assault. The surprise attack struck a critical blow against the U.S. Pacific fleet and drew the United States irrevocably into World War II. The day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, President Roosevelt appeared before a joint session of Congress and declared, "Yesterday, December 7, 1941-a date which will live in infamy-the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." Other events on Dec 7, 1787 Delaware becomes the first state to ratify the Constitution.
Word of the Day: Solace, noun, means "someone or something that gives a feeling of comfort to a person who is experiencing grief, sadness, or anxiety." Her presence was a great solace to me during my time of need.

This Day in History: 1945-At 2:10 p.m. on December 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy Avenger torpedo-bombers comprising Flight 19 take off from the Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station in Florida on a routine three-hour training mission. They never returned. The disappearance of the 14 men of Flight 19 and the 13 men of the Mariner led to one of the largest air and seas searches to that date, and hundreds of ships and aircraft combed thousands of square miles of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and remote locations within the interior of Florida. No trace of the bodies or aircraft was ever found.
Word of the Day: Leonine, adjective, means "of, relating to, or resembling a lion." She spent hours in the bathroom trying to detangle her leonine tresses.
