Good morning! This day in Disney history Dec 7th, 1941. Walt hears over the radio news about the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. He receives a phone call from his studio manager telling him that army troops are moving onto THEIR Burbank lot! The troops are going to provide an anti-aircraft installation to protect the nearby Lockheed factory! (This company manufactures airplanes for the armed forces). Talk about an interesting day!
I always look forward to reading your fact posts too, so keep um coming! - Dahulagirl

Twice I have visited the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. The first time was when I was in the Navy. It is important to remember the men and women who lost their lives that day. Such a sad moment in history that propelled the United States into World War II. - ScooterMike
