In 1941, the US was still at peace, though preparing for war. This post aligns with those events 84 years ago to the day, month and day of week, something that I only realized as I transitioned from the monthly summaries to a daily format. Two weeks to the anniversary of Pearl Harbor and the active involvement in WWII as a belligerent. Follow along with the daily consolidated combat chronology of the US Armed Forces in the Second World War.
