Pearl Harbor Day
Since April 1940, based at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian island of Oahu, the U.S. Pacific Fleet was a tempting target. Admiral Yamamoto elaborated one of the greatest attacks in history: aircraft carriers sailed anonymously to a point located at 320km north of Oahu, which served as a base to send in torpedo planes, fighters and bombers in order to destroy the port facilities and the U.S. fleet which was stationed there.
The attack occured 68 years ago at 7:55 a.m. exactly. The U.S. marines were taken by surprise and were not expecting any attack due to the lack of any official declaration of war.
Pearl Harbor Day, December 7th, 1941 was a day of great loss to the american Army and Navy (about 2000 dead and more than 1000 injured).

In a question-and-answer session with Tim Prister, Senior Editor at IrishIllustrated.com, was asked:
“Is it frustrating to you Pete Carroll, for example, portrayed in one way …”
Weis responded:
“Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news. He’s doing it in Malibu and it’s not national news. What’s the difference? I don’t understand. Why is it okay for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I’m scrutinized when I swear. I’m sorry for swearing; absolve my sins.”
