The WWII did not reach the coast of US mainland. Hawaii was not one of the 50

States, this is the first time since the British burnt down Washington, in
1814, that the national territory has been under attack, or for that matter
even under threat. And I dont have to review whats happened in those two
centuries. The number of victims is huge. Now, for the first time, the guns
have been pointed in the opposite direction, and thats a dramatic change."
