The morning of Dec. 7, 1941, started like a typical Sunday in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Between 4 and 8 a.m., several U.S. Navy ships’ logs show they had loaded provisions from companies, mostly milk, ice cream and ice.
Shortly before 8 a.m., service members and civilians who worked on military bases were eating breakfast, drinking coffee, sunning themselves on ships’ decks, sleeping, playing poker, preparing for church or softball games or working during Pearl's usual relaxed weekend routine.
