My 13th birthday was on November 6, 1941. I was a student in the eighth grade of elementary school – there was no Junior High in those days.
December 7 was a Sunday. There was no TV in 1941, and we had listened to no radio programming that morning. I first heard about the Pearl Harbor attack when we left church, following Sunday services. The Kansas City Star had already printed an extra edition newspaper and boys outside the church were selling the papers.
A farm kid, I knew almost nothing about Pearl Harbor. I had recently seen newspaper stories about the unrest in the Pacific. I knew that some Americans were upset with the fact that we were selling steel to Japan, predicting it would come back to us in the form of exploding weapons. I was aware that Japanese diplomats were in Washington, supposedly trying to allay American’s fears.
I asked my father what news of the Pearl Harbor attack meant. He replied that it meant we were now at war.
