Today's just after Veteran's Day. Hard for me not to look at that date and picture sailors in Hawaii, listening to this broadcast at Pearl Harbor, not knowing what would happen just three weeks later. And think further about how much Jack Benny and the gang did for the war effort and the troops.
Archive.org has the episode that was interrupted by the news of Pearl Harbour. It's chilling to listen to it, and imagine how it sounded to people hearing it that night.
