December 7th 1941

December 7th 1941 
Japan invades Pearl Harbor. 
Another useless war. 
Attack on American soil. 
Surprise military strike on December 7th 1941. 
Oahu, Hawaii, a neutral area. 
7:48 am with 354 fighters in the air. 
Dive bombers, torpedo bombers. 
2,400 Americans from our Military were killed. 
The damage is done. 
For what reason? 
War was provoked. 
The deadliest foreign attack on the U.S. 
War over territory. 
War is never ending. 
Always about oil, power and land. 
Foreign leaders with no spiritual direction. 
They brought this to our front door step. 
History of another war. 
(President in1941) 
(Franklin D. Roosevelt)  
Still to this day, enemies continue to fight. 
Over oil and territory. 
Nothing ever changes. 
What a sad day of judgment.
