On Friday, Elicia Stratton searched desperately through the wreckage of her Lahaina home for the Rolex watch her parents gave her when she graduated college. Suddenly, her fiancé pulled it from the ashes. “You found it!” she said, choking up. It was damaged but still legible.

Most people don’t really think about it, but when they do, December 7, is synonymous with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. What is often forgotten is that the majority of Japan’s simultaneous attack on the Pacific happened on December 6.

Roosevelt was given options on how to discuss the attacks in the media and chose to highlight Hawai’i because it was, in essence, the “whitest” and closest of the territories and he wanted full congressional and popular approval to go to war.
