Just a little extra information for those who appreciate history, my father, like many others went down to enlist in the US Navy on December 8th, 1941. When he got there, it was so mobbed that the Navy recruiters could not handle the volume. The recruiters handed out rushed cards with a date on it for each person to return. My father got December 17th, 1941. He returned signed up and was given a train ticket for January 2, 1942. That began his adventure. They were the greatest generation.
