Japanese Attack
On this day in 1942, at 7:00 PM, during one of President Roosevelt’s Fireside Chats, the Japanese submarine I-17 shelled this Richfield Oil Field site with 25 5-inch rounds. Not since the War of 1812 had the mainland U.S. been attacked by a foreign power. #alwaysreadtheplaque https://t.co/rGD8v2qStb Tweet
