(13,360 posts)68 civilians, and 19 ships, 8 battleships. (I just looked it up.) I didn't even know it was that many people or ships! Don't think we covered it at all in History class. what a shame.
Ironically, today would be my 22 anniversary with my ex. Getting married on Pearl Harbor Day should have been a sign... oops.
