My grandfather was 13 when he heard this on December 7, 1941. On January 7, 1942, he turned 14. On January 9, 1942, he went to the Marine Recruiters' office in Gulfport, MS and lied about his age and joined the Marines. His father was a WW1 Air Corps veteran and signed the papers for my grandfather to go to war as a 17 year old kid. My grandfather would serve as a US Marine in 3 wars from 1942 until 1977. He made his final report for duty on January 10, 2010 and told St. Peter at the Gates of Heaven, "Sir a US Marine is here to relieve you as ordered. I've served my time in Hell."

7:02 is the best timing

What I don't understand about our country US A is why we didn't stand with Britain when Germany attacked them obviously they stood with us when Japan attacked us why was this when we got attacked by terrorists back in 2001 Britain was right there with us

My Dad was in the Army merchant fleet in WW2. He insisted being buried in the military cemetery in CT. I used to wonder why the Dads were quiet guys. My mom says they returned from war and had to live with it.

My mother and father were married on Saturday, 6 Dec 1941.

Well them sons of b.....s!!

7:40 7:03

My grandmother told me that she was having lunch at home while grandpa was teaching a class when she heard the news on the radio. She also told me that when Grandpa came home, he told her that he was going to enlist the next day. three months later he was stationed in Saipan

Really enjoyed listening to this broadcast. It gives you detail.

It still gives me chills when I hear Roosevelt's speech.

My own father was born on Wednesday, October 1, 1941 . . . a little over two months before this broadcast.

The US caused the attack.

It was a very tragic day and my friend Ed Gruber a Navy Correspondent in Korea had the privilege of escorting VIPs like the Andrews Sisters and actor John Wayne to what's left of the USS Arizona which was America's first war grave.

My Father fought in World War 2 I'm named after one of my uncles that was killed at his Double Duce .50 Caliber on the USS California My dad was getting ready for work when he heard the news. My dad served from 1941 to 1949. He served his country with pride. He was a Marine Sniper He joined millions of others to stop the Japanese war machine. He went on his final patrol 2nd November 1994. Rest In Peace Dad

My mom had jyst martied her first husband who was kia at sea slightky more than a year later

"..the US Army has been converted to communism..." 😂 How disconcerting

We didn't start it, but we damned well finished it.

Of course they don’t mention all the instigation FDR was doing, outlined in the McCollum memo, an eight step plan to incite and allow an attack from Japan so the U.S. could enter the war without public backlash, or the fact that he pulled the aircraft carriers out of Pearl on Dec.5 because he knew it was coming. We and other allies had intercepted Japanese comms and the chiefs of staff new attack on Pearl Harbor was imminent yet they did nothing to stop it or prepare their men, so sad and disappointing. RIP to all who perished and utmost respect to all who have been through combat. ✌🏼❤️🤍💙

Thank you to the men and women who served.The greatest generation saved US from the Nazis, Japan, Italy. All our allies now. Rest in peace , President Roosevelt.

imagine you told someone back then that in the future there was gonna be this thing called the internet where everyone was gonna gather around and listen to this broadcast all over again and have a discussion about it .. they would've said you're full of shit lol

Pearl harbor,twin towers whats next?

You know pres roosevelt was probably the only pres to go through the great depression and ww2 and served as president more then any other and had polio what a brave and tough man

Roosevelt was informed on 4 December 1941 that the Japanese were preparing to attack Hawaii.

The US had attacked Germany and Japan in April 1941.

6:06 prince of wales… big oof,if you know

Thank God Biden wasn't the president.

If you fought for America today, you'd be supporting corporate totalitarianism. My how times have changed. I miss it when people were decent and fought for freedom here in America

What happened to the 5 chime that was on 3751 now?

Those were the days you listened intently because you knew it was true. You trusted the news. Wow! How different now.

I remember my Mother Telling me That her and her mother We're on their way to Sunday Mass When the announcement aired

Small rig drilling shallow holes that usually lasted about six weeks and then it was time to move on. Went to 12 grade schools in my first three years throughout northern & western Texas around 1950. But it sure beat picking & stripping cotton. It made our lives very unique and appreciative of all good things. We had to grow up fast. Half of the girls in the United States were married at 18 years old or before in the United States.

I miss my great grandpa

My Mother told me that after that she heard of the attack, she wanted to go join the fight. But, a doctor (if I'm not mistaken) told her that they needed her there at The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati where that she was training / working as a nurse.

Can’t even imagine the fog of war in these early reports shows how important it was to get it right back then.

December 7th 1941, a date which will live in infamy Dec 7th 2022

I live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. I’m at Pearl Harbor all the time for work. Every time I go to Ford Island, I imagine what it must’ve been like to be there during the attack in 1941. It always gives me goosebumps when I’m there. It’s also a good reminder of the sacrifice our troops have to pay to preserve, protect, and defend our freedoms against all enemies. My great-grandparents were teenagers when the attack took place and witnessed everything.

My Dad turned 16 on pearl harbor day... 12-7-1925

"THE WORLD TODAY" was heard at 2:30pm(et).

Its hard to believe that its been 81 years since that day... Rest in peace to those who perished in the attack.

Walk it off!

It was my grandpa’s birthday. They were together in Brooklyn ny that Sunday when they gathered around in the living room. I was 2 years old so of course don’t remember this. But little snippets of memories from the nest four years are there for me…my mother was an air raid warden and I do remember sirens and being alone with my sister while Mom went out. To check the block for any light showing from windows…

Thank you for posting this!

I wonder if anyone, back then, yelled, "Fake News!"

my grandma was born on 1941

I was born in Russell Kansas and worked 35 years in the Kansas/OK Oil Patch. Love the oil patch: Drilling, Production, Completion. 3 generations of our Smith family worked it. :)

At several points in this broadcast, reporters mentioned the Japanese Navy would soon face counterattack from the newest British battleship, _Prince of Wales._ Three days later, that ship, which previously fought the _Bismarck,_ lay on the bottom of the South China Sea, sunk by Japanese bombers. As the wreckage of Pearl Harbor became apparent in the days following, in addition to the surrender of Wake Island and the invasion of the Philippines, December 1941 must have been one of the darkest months in US history.

We had one of them too but sold it too we should have kept it too ours was a phillco Ford too kh

Standing over the Arizona and seeing bullet holes in the tarmac and hangars is pretty indescribable. Many of the windows and buildings were left as they were after the attack. Even so, the overall damage that occurred there is hard to imagine given the scope of destruction and loss of life.

False flag... America/Britain attacked Pearl Harbour

Incredible live Recording... we are lucky that radio transmission from far away place and electric transcriptions had already reached such a state of precision that we can now listen to these recordings insuch incredible sound.
