Pearl Harbor was bombed December 7, 1941. "It is a time of such great national emergency that the lives and thoughts of all people are directed to one common purpose - Victory. And when nothing - nothing in art, nothing in life - is acceptable but what will somehow serve that end, it so happens that among the places I have liked and love, and lived and worked in, are places, regions, that our national emergency has elevated into prominence." It's Me O Lord by Rockwell Kent
