I still have the newspaper the the Star Bulletin sold the morning of the Pearl Harbor attack. My grandpa bought two copies of it and I have it sitting in some dark corner of the house somewhere. It's really interesting to read. There is a story about the Japanese making an amphibious assault at one of the beaches and some other stuff. When my grandpa was alive he was a contractor for the Navy and worked at Pearl Harbor. He wasn't there during the attack, but he told me that on his way there shells from the ships or bombs from the planes were ending up in neighborhoods all around Pearl Harbor.
