I know exactly where I was - playing on the floor of the dining room/kitchen at my parent's house. It was around 6 p.m. on a Sunday evening. I can't say that I understood the import of "The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor" that came over the radio, but I do know how much WWII has affected my life and that of my contemporaries. I like to think that it affected our lives in a positive manner. We lived when America was truly a great nation. Of course, we were not without sin; this nation did some very un-American things. Overall, however, we were a force for good in the world.
