The attack on Pearl Harbor was a pre-emptive military
strike on the United States Pacific Fleet base at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii by the Empire of Japan's Imperial Japanese Navy, on the
morning of Sunday, December 7, 1941 that made the United States
enter World War II. Two aerial attack waves, totaling 350
aircraft, were launched from six aircraft carriers with the
intent to destroy the United States Pacific Fleet.
The attack
wrecked two U.S. Navy battleships, one minelayer, and two
destroyers beyond repair, and destroyed 188 aircraft;
personnel losses were 2,333 killed and 1,139 wounded. Damaged
warships included three cruisers, a destroyer, and six
battleships (one deliberately grounded, later refloated and
repaired; two sunk at their berths, later raised, repaired, and
restored to Fleet service late in the war)President
Roosevelt delivered his "Day of Infamy" speech to a joint
session of Congress on December 8, 1941.

Poker Legend David
"Chip" Reese Dies at 56 |
| |
|
|
| |
A
legend in the poker world has died at the age of 56. Chip Reese, who was
the 2006 winner of the inaugural $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event at the World
Series of Poker, passed away Monday night. Reese was admitted into the
hospital late Monday evening in Las Vegas and then passed away in his
sleep during the night.
I met Chip in December of 1974 at the Sahara Hotel's poker room. I had
just been hired as the 1st female "Brushman" on the strip
and Chip was a steady poker player there.
