Two Thanksgivings ago was at dinner with a group including a woman just over 100 years old . She told the story of where she was when she heard FDR on the radio announcing the raid. She was at a CA beach still in the car listening to the radio while her friends were on the beach. She called them back to the car and they listened to FDR. It was quite a moving story.
