GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 20th Publish Date:  August 20th   From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, August 20th and Happy heavenly Birthday to Isaac Hayes. ***08.20.24 – BIRTHDAY – ISAAC HAYES*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Eminent Domain Battle Brewing Between Norcross and Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation Three Gwinnett Grads Named AP Football Preseason All-Americans Buford's Neely Kerr Headed to Colombia with US U-20 World Cup Team All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: KIA M.O.G.   STORY 1:    Eminent Domain Battle Brewing Between Norcross and Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation The Norcross Woman's Club and the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation are in dispute with the City of Norcross over the future of the club's historic building, which was recently donated to the Trust. The city plans to consider a condemnation resolution on September 3, initiating the eminent domain process. While the city insists this move is not intended for demolition, the Georgia Trust is concerned that it could jeopardize the building's preservation. The Trust aims to restore the building and convert it into a private residence with preservation easements, but the city prefers a public use for the structure. The building, originally Gwinnett County's first library and designed with Greek Revival architecture, remains a point of contention. STORY 2: Three Gwinnett Grads Named AP Football Preseason All-Americans Three former Gwinnett prep stars have been named to the Associated Press preseason All-American Team. Caleb Downs, a safety for Ohio State, was previously an All-American at Alabama and leads the defense. Barrett Carter, a linebacker at Clemson, is also on the first-team defense, known for his impressive stats and All-ACC selection. Travis Hunter of Colorado, a versatile player from Collins Hill, made the first-team offense as an all-purpose player. Ohio State led with four selections, while Georgia and Michigan each had three. STORY 3:     Buford's Neely Kerr Headed to Colombia with US U-20 World Cup Team Neely Kerr, a senior at Buford, received exciting news that disrupted her school year: she was selected as one of three alternates for the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Soccer Team for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Colombia. Initially listed as a provisional roster member, Kerr was called up after an injury opened a spot. She'll complete her schoolwork online from Colombia through early September. Despite not being on the main roster, this opportunity to train with the team is a significant step in her soccer career. Kerr, who has been highly successful in high school soccer, will graduate early and join Clemson University in January. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We'll be right back Break 2: TOM WAGS (OBITS)   GUIDE MENTAL HEALTH UPDATE   BREAK: GWINETT COUNTY FAIR STORY 4: ON THE RISE: Georgia Gwinnett College Enrollment Increases For 7th Straight Semester Georgia Gwinnett College is set to increase its fall enrollment by 2.1%, surpassing 12,000 students for the seventh consecutive semester. The majority of students are from Gwinnett County, but the college also attracts students from across the U.S. and 116 countries, with Vietnam, Nigeria, Venezuela, Mexico, and India being the top five. Dr. Michael Poll, VP of Enrollment Management, credits this growth to strong collaboration among staff and a focus on student success and retention, which has led to a 4% increase in returning students. STORY 5: Pearl Harbor Hero To Be Laid To Rest On December 7, 1941, U.S. Navy Fireman 2nd Class Joseph William Carroll perished aboard the USS Oklahoma during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Of the 429 crewmen lost, 388 remained unidentified until recent efforts began to exhume and identify remains. By August 19, 2019, Carroll was among those identified. His remains will be interred at the National Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu on August 21, 2024. Carroll's cousin, Nancy Leigh Carroll De La Cruz, will attend the ceremony, honoring his sacrifice and placing him to rest alongside his fellow sailors. This closure follows 77 years of uncertainty, highlighting the Navy's dedication to identifying and honoring fallen service members. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 1 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

On December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. What appeared to be a stunning success actually spelled the end of Japan's dreams of empire and led to the defeat of the Axis Powers in World War II.

This is John McGlothlen with The Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Monday, March 20th.According to the National Weather Service, it will be partly sunny today in the Cedar Rapids area, with a high near 50. Winds from the southwest, 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Then tonight it will be mostly cloudy, with a low around 36. For the fourth time since 2015, Iowa is in the NCAA women's basketball Sweet 16. Caitlin Clark posted 22 points and 12 rebounds, and had a hand in 33 of Iowa's 35 second-half points. Iowa fought past Georgia, 74-66, in a second-round game before a sellout crowd Sunday afternoon at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa advances to face No. 13 Duke or No. 21 Colorado in a regional semifinal Friday at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.The remains of a 19-year-old sailor, who died aboard the USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor, are being returned to his hometown of Monticello for burial Saturday. Seaman 1st Class Donald A. Stott joined the Navy at age 17 after his dad agreed and signed the enlistment papers. He had been aboard the Oklahoma for a year and a day when Japanese planes and submarines attacked the harbor in Hawaii on a Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1941. The Oklahoma capsized, and Stott and 428 of his shipmates died. The “day of infamy” attack killed 2,403 U.S. personnel, including 68 civilians, and destroyed or damaged 19 Navy ships, including eight battleships.–

-Historians often cite Japanese expansionism, imperialism, what have you, for their desire to attack Pearl Harbor.  Others say it the United States' embargos that led to the attack.  Which was it?  And could there have been another alternative to Kido Butai flinging airplanes at the sleeping American Pacific fleet?            -There were many warnings about the impending attack before the first aircraft dropped their ordnance.  What were some of those warnings?  What, if any, actions could of/should have been taken? -After the attack, the US government needed scapegoats.  They had to pin the blame on their overall intelligence failure on anybody but themselves, and so they harpooned both Army General Walter Short, and Navy Admiral Husband Kimmel.  Who were these guys, what were their respective roles and were they actually to blame for the entire attack?  Were they to blame for anything?  What should they have done prior to the attack?  Were they aware of any real threat? -The actual attack on Pearl Harbor was a military feat in its own right.  Who was the planner?  Why was attacking PH such a risk militarily?     -Let's talk about the opposing forces…Japanese planning, skill and execution versus American response…https://williamtoti.com

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Tuesday, May 10. It is going to be warm again Tuesday, with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. According to the National Weather Service it will be partly sunny with a high near 87 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area. There will be a 20 percent chance for showers after 1 p.m. and continuing through Wednesday. The low should be around 68 degrees. With no news Monday on the disappearance of city employee Erik Spaw, his mother offered a possible explanation of what might have happened, and why his assigned waterworks fleet pickup was found submerged in the Cedar River on Saturday. Karen Spaw, 88, of Cedar Rapids, told The Gazette on Monday that her 54-year-old son has Type 1 diabetes and may have passed out from low blood sugar and driven into the river. Her son, she said, had been having a hard time regulating his blood sugar and insulin intake recently and that his blood sugar had dropped dangerously low several times. Crews continued searching the river for Spaw on Monday, using boats and a K-9 officer. They reported having no updates on day 3 of the search.  Spaw, who has worked for the city for more than 20 years according to his mother, worked a Friday evening shift at the Northwest Water Treatment Plant. The unoccupied water department fleet pickup assigned to Spaw was later found in the river near Ellis Road NW on Saturday. A Navy seaman from Independence who was killed in the Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor will finally be laid to rest in Iowa this Saturday. David F. Tidball, 20, a seaman first class, was on the USS Oklahoma, which sustained multiple torpedo hits, causing it to capsize. His body was recently identified by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, and he will be buried at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Mount Hope Cemetery in Independence. The graveside service will be open to the public. When Tidball died, he was survived by his parents and three siblings. Only nieces and nephews remain to commemorate him, according to hhttps://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/wcfcourier/name/david-tidball-obituary?id=34614995 (is obituary.) Tidball was one of 429 USS Oklahoma crewmen who died, all of whom were buried in the Halawa and Nu'uanu cemeteries, according to a news release from the https://www.dpaa.mil/News-Stories/News-Releases/PressReleaseArticleView/Article/2663096/uss-oklahoma-sailor-accounted-for-from-world-war-ii-tidball-d/ (Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency). The remains of the seamen were disinterred in 1947, when the American Graves Registration Service was assigned to recover and identify fallen U.S. military personnel in the Pacific Theater. The bodies were brought to the Central Identification Laboratory, where 35 men from the USS Oklahoma were identified. The rest, including Tidball, were buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. Their remains were classified as non-recoverable. The Biden administration announced on Monday that 20 internet companies including Mediacom, have agreed to provide discounted service to low-income Americans, a program that could effectively make tens of millions of households eligible for free service through an already existing federal subsidy. According to the Associated Press, thttps://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-congress-infrastructure-bill-signing-b5b8cca843133de060778f049861b144 (he $1 trillion infrastructure package) passed by Congress last year included $14.2 billion funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides $30 monthly subsidies ($75 in tribal areas) on internet service for millions of lower-income households. With the new commitment from the internet providers, some 48 million households will be eligible for $30 monthly plans for 100 megabits per second, or higher speed, service — making internet service fully paid for with the government subsidy if they sign up with one of the providers...

In 1941, the USS Oklahoma sunk during the battle of Pearl Harbor, and the lost crew was buried together in Hawaii.

“Yesterday, December 7th, 1941–a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”  These are the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt the day after the attack eighty years ago.  2,403 Americans died (1,177 were on the USS Arizona), 18 ships were damaged, two U.S. Navy battleships, the USS Arizona and USS Utah were sunk, and 180 aircraft were destroyed.  Why is this not taught in America's classrooms and why does mainstream media ignore this historic moment?  Kim reflects on her father's cousin who died at Pearl Harbor and his remains have just been recently identified.  He was on the USS Oklahoma where 429 people were killed. Reviewing current issues Kim comments that it is hard to believe that there is no recognition of natural immunity after infection nor preventive treatments when discussing COVID-19/Wuhan-China virus mandated vaccinations.  Epoch Times reports a cruise ship disembarking from New Orleans, with all vacationers and crew members vaccinated, is reporting at least 10 people with COVID-19.  New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio mandates COVID-19 vaccinations for all private businesses in New York.  Nevada imposes a surcharge that takes effect next year on all workers who have not received a COVID-19 vaccination.  Drugs and crime have escalated to horrific conditions at Union Station in Denver during the past year. Frequent guest Josh Philipp, award-winning investigative reporter for The Epoch Times and host of Crossroads, joins Kim for a robust discussion on COVID-19/Wuhan-China virus mandates, the new variant Omicron, and the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell.  Josh explains that DeBlasio is a communist and it is no surprise that he leaves office with an edict demanding all private businesses implement forced vaccinations on their employees.  It is politics over the well-being of the people.  New Yorkers do not necessarily see this as a problem of the left and instead it is seen as a problem of the individual.  The Omicron variant has proven to be mild but politicians and bureaucrats are using it to keep and expand their emergency powers to reignite their power of fear over the people.  Science is Fauci in the eyes of many, which has been proven wrong many times over.  The Democrats are overplaying their hand and may have a tremendous loss of power after the 2022 election.  Josh reflects briefly on his family’s experience at Pearl Harbor as his great grandfather was a chief steward in the Navy.  Josh refers to December 7th as the day Americans woke up.  Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran a pedophile ring for the elite.  Unfortunately, many people have refused to testify and the judge will not allow disturbing evidence into the public arena.  Josh ends optimistically stating that if you look at the world it may look hopeless but it is not.  We have hit an extreme low point in our country's history and we will reverse this.  The mainstream media, large corporations, and corrupt politicians do not have a problem with tyranny as long as they have power and control.  “We the People” will reclaim our Founding Heritage and our Liberty.

Zeoli Show Hour 4:  In the final hour of the Zeoli Show, Rich discussed the military deciding to not continue identifying the remaining members of the USS Oklahoma that are still unidentified at Pearl Harbor. In the 2nd part of "what's on the cut sheet," the focus is on CNN guests where one believes we should treat natural immunity the same as vaccination and another guest wants to remind people that even though China is a human rights abuser, so is the U.S. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we observe the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Tom and Noëlle Crowe remind us of the story of Fr. Aloysius Schmitt, an Iowa farm boy turned Catholic Navy Chaplain, who sacrificed his own life helping sailors aboard the doomed USS Oklahoma escape its destruction. The post Fr.

Team:COACH GARY HERE. THIS IS EPISODE 19 OF THE ‘BRICK AND BLOCK PODCAST' AND                FEATURES THE AUDIO VERSION OF MY JANUARY 2020 COLUMN written for MASONRY MAGAZINE. YOU PROBABLY KNOW THE COLUMN AS ‘FULL CONTACT PROJECT MANAGER'. THE TITLE OF THE COLUMN YOU ARE ABOUT TO HEAR IS: Looking Forward by Knowing the Past                                                                  …Remembering the Rest of the Story Team— WARNING: THIS PODCAST RUNS COUNTER TO WHAT MANY COLLEGE PROFESSORS BELIEVE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!NOTE: This article was originally written, a couple of years ago, to provide some history of December 7, 1941. It is even more important this year, as you should hear much talk about that date, now 80 years ago, this December. It's critical you get the whole story, as opponents of Western Civilization may be doing their best to tarnish, trample…and torpedo the reality of the 2nd World War.Look, as you can tell, I'm about fed up with the “Egghead” class, changing language, changing history, changing values, changing beliefs…heck, changing genders, making this stuff up as they go along. It's time for some sanity and perspective, which is what “Coach Gary” is about to deliver. Stand by!All things considered, in some respects, this might be one of the most important podcasts I've ever done. But, then again…all of my podcasts are important! So…dig in!We begin immediately,     and by immediately,   I mean once I remind everyone that you can find our podcast website at BRICK AND BLOCK PODCAST DOT COM (repeat). As I've said before, I'm a big proponent of having websites that support your business, and I've got an excellent example of one: Masonry Contractor Special Website. You'll see it there. That's what you're looking for. It's mobile friendly, modern, fast, bullet proof, BEAUTIFUL, cutting edge, DONE FOR YOU, and practically free! You'll love this one. Check it out.Of course, if you're not a masonry contractor, we have very similar websites, but in your specialty. So…check it out.OKAY, TEAM.    HANG ON, BUCKLE UP… LISTEN UP,  AND PREPARE TO MOVE UP. And now, Episode 19Looking Forward by Knowing the Past                                               …Remembering The Rest of the StoryBy Coach Gary Micheloni “Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” (Winston Churchill, 1948 and George Santayana, 1905)For absolute certainty, there will be no shortage of articles and messages this time of year about “20-20 vision” and that sort of thing! But I ask you to invest a few moments right now and look at my little offering, because it just might be super-significant for you in this uncertain world and industry we find ourselves. Stuff always happens but you need to hang in there because ‘the rest of the story' might just be right around the corner… to the part where the cavalry arrives and the good guys win. That's the theme for the New Year because that's my hope and expectation. Check it out.For the past 20+ years now I have been meeting for breakfast with the same group of guys the first Saturday of each month. It is amazing to me the amount of wisdom coming from them, on all sorts of subjects and ideas, and I hope you have the same kind of people in your life. They are among my most important mentors— my coaches.So, when “Coach Mark” approached me and said that our group of guys would be meeting on December 7th next and wondered if I might want to share something about the significance of that day. I agreed, provided we could go into the lessons learned and the leadership attached to that significant day. What does it all mean--for that time, and for ours, going forward?President Franklin D. Roosevelt summed up things this way: “Yesterday, December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan...I regret to tell you that many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu…”Pretty bad stuff, right? But let's not miss “the rest of the story.” Is the cavalry on its way? Is there going to be a ‘rest of the story?' Let's take a look.Those two sentences from FDR were the facts, and they are terrible. But those facts are only part of the story, which is far more profound, much larger, and more significant. The story does not end there. In fact, it doesn't even begin there! Because where it actually begins has everything to do with — not where it ends, but where it is heading. You knowing what that heading is, has everything to do with how your business, community, and family grow, We're talking about the history of our country because it is the driving force of your legacies, be it business, community or family going forward. Do not miss this!In your experience, you know that things often go wrong, “unsolvable” problems present themselves, seemingly impossible issues arise. Things are going along well and then, out of the blue, bad stuff happens. In this case, Pearl Harbor is attacked “out of the blue,” the enemy seeking to destroy the US Pacific Fleet. In fact, on that Sunday morning, 9 US battleships were in port. The enemy thought it had accomplished its mission, but it miscalculated — you'll learn why in a moment. But the lesson here is that life situations, which might cripple the unwitting, will not take you down— provided you understand your legacy, and how critical it is to pass this along to others and that they might do the same. So, let's go to the beginning of the story. What i0s this uniquely American legacy that redeems us from the bad and gets us to the good? Let's start here.America was settled by people seeking freedom of religion, the press, for the right to own property, and a desire to be governed by the rule of law— not ruled according to the dictations and might of kings. In this country, for the first time ever in the history of the world, we solemnly believed and resolved that the king was no longer to be the law. But that law, itself, was to be king. This turned civilization on its head!To make this happen, Americans picked a fight with the mightiest nation on earth at the time, to instill into its people and install into its government, the sanctity that these rights, held by most people, were ‘God-given.' A formal Declaration of Independence was written and then signed by 57 men each pledging, “Our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.” It would cost many of them exactly that. In 1776 this Revolution, tenuous at first and unlikely to succeed, overcame the impossible and the miraculous came to pass. Tens of thousands of lives were taken, wounded, or captured to make this a reality. Never forget: this is our legacy.In 1861, a great Civil War was fought to decide the issue of slavery. President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, freeing— on paper, at least the slaves in rebelling states. April 9, 1865, the south surrendered. April 14, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated. Over four years, more than 620,000 soldiers from both sides cast ‘the ultimate vote,” as did President Lincoln. The law was settled. At great cost, the nation moved on. Our legacy of freedom was preserved.  Fast forward to 1941 and the specter of world war. The US and Japan had ongoing diplomatic negotiations and peace talks up through December 6, in Washington DC. With talks scheduled to continue the following week. Sunday was supposed to be an off day. This now brings us back to the events of December 7th, 1941:7:55 a.m, the first wave of 183 Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo bombers attacked Pearl Harbor.8:10 a.m. a 1,800-pound bomb lands in the USS Arizona's forward ammunition magazine. The ship explodes and sinks with 1,000+ men trapped inside.Torpedoes hit the USS Oklahoma with about 400 sailors aboard; she loses balance, rolls to her side and sinks. 8:54 a.m. the second wave of 170 planes attacked. The battle was over before 10:00 a.m.In its wake, 2,403 service members were killed, 1,178 wounded, 169 US Army Air Corps and Navy planes destroyed. 19 vessels were damaged, nearly half of which were sunk, fully or partially. Every battleship in Pearl Harbor had sustained significant damage: the USS Arizona, Oklahoma, California, West Virginia, Utah, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Nevada. Pretty bad stuff, right? Do things get better?Know that all but the Arizona, Oklahoma, and Utah were eventually salvaged and repaired so that six battleships were returned to service.The Japanese ambassadors left town on December 8th!December 9, 1941, Americans begin to enlist in record numbers. During the course of the war, over 16 million Americans served, from a US population of 140 million — 11% of all Americans fought in WW2. (By comparison, 1% during the Iraq war.) Every family had a stake in this fight, either in the military or in support of it. (My mom and at least one of my aunts became welders in an aircraft plant!)February 19, 1942, President Roosevelt issues Executive Order 9066, and 110,000 Japanese-Americans are forced to leave their homes and are interred in 10 detention camps until December 1944. April 2, 1942, USS Hornet steams from San Francisco with 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers lashed to her flight deck. The 80 crew members aboard had trained on land-based runways to get airborne within 467 ft (length of the Hornet flight deck). All were volunteers. It was considered to be a suicide mission.April 8, 1942, all 16 bombers, led by Lt. Col. James Doolittle, successfully launched from the Hornet for a surprise air attack on Tokyo by US bombers. All hit targets, doing little damage, but proving to the Japanese that their island was not invulnerable to attack by the U.S. — a huge, needed a psychological boost to the Allies, as the war was going badly. One plane landed in Russia, 15 toward Nationalist China. All ran short on fuel and either crash-landed or crew bailed out. Three crewmen killed, 8 captured, tortured and starved. This bravery is a part of the DNA in our legacy. April 19, 2019, Lt. Richard Cole, last surviving member of this raid, dies at age 103! 77 years plus one day.0May 1942. War going well for Japan, which wanted to get US into a fight for Midway Island in order to lure US aircraft carriers, defeat them, which would ultimately destroy the US Pacific Fleet. (Carriers were much more important to the Fleet than battleships.) May 28th, largest Japanese fleet ever leaves it bases and heads to sea, commanded by Admiral Yamamoto, who is confident of victory but does not know that the US has cracked their intelligence code and is aware of their plans of possible attack on Midway. June 1942, US Admiral Chester Nimitz puts a task force together. Desperately in need of carriers, has to allow USS Yorktown to go to Pearl Harbor for two+ weeks of emergency repairs. But Nimitz has a plan: 1400 shipyard workers move onto the ship, en masse, work around the clock and complete the repairs in 72 hours. She rejoins the task force! The Battle of Midway rages four days, June 4-June 7, 1942. Japan had 4 carriers, 3 cruisers, 12 destroyers, 248 carrier aircraft, and 16 floatplanes. The US had 3 carriers, 8 cruisers, 15 destroyers, 233 carrier aircraft, 127 land-based aircraft, and 16 subs.LOSSES: Japan— 4 carriers sunk; 1 cruiser sunk and 1 damaged; 248 aircraft destroyed, 3,057 KIA, 37 capturedUS— 1 carrier sunk (Yorktown); 1 destroyer sunk (Hammann), 150 aircraft destroyed; 307 service members KIA.Midway was widely considered the turning point of the war and the largest naval battle in history. Japan was unable to replenish its war materials easily, while the US industrial might could supply our needs.February 1, 1943, 442nd Regimental Combat Team created was composed entirely of Japanese-Americans, some of whom had family members in detention camps. Serving in Italy, France, and Germany, its motto was “Go for Broke.” By April 1943, it had a fighting complement of 4,000 men, with some 14,000 total serving overall. In less than two years, its members were awarded 9,486 purple hearts, 4,000 Bronze Stars, 21 of its members were awarded the Medal of Honor. It is the most decorated unit in US military history. A family friend of mine had a brother KIA while she and the rest of her family remained in a camp. Amazing. Sad. True. Part of our legacy as Americans of all stripes.While all of this is going on in the Pacific, the Allies simultaneously and successfully launch the largest amphibious landing in the history of warfare: Operation Overlor2d, also known as D-Day, the landing at Normandy (June 6-August 30, 1944). A few months later, the Battle of the Bulge (December 16, 1944 to Jan 25, 1945).May 8, 1945, VE Day (Victory in Europe) August 6, 1945, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Pres. Truman calls for Japan to surrender, warning of further destruction. Japan rejects.August 9, 1945, the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki.August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito announced surrender. September 2, 1945, (VJ Day— Victory over Japan) Japan signs unconditional surrender aboard USS Missouri This is who we are.

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org.  David begins with a plug for his upcoming appearance in the WikiTree Challenge, where WikiTree researchers will go to town to try to find new breakthroughs for David. Family Histoire News begins with the identification of another Pearl Harbor victim from the USS Oklahoma through DNA. Hear the family's reaction. Then, St. James Gardens in London, the site of thousands of old burials, is getting a database. Hear what has prompted the effort. Next, could DNA tests have changed peoples' perceptions of their ethnicity? The 2020 census definitely suggests this is so. Catch the remarkable statistics. A lost human lineage has been found due to the discovery of an 18-year-old woman who lived over 7,200 years ago. David explains. And finally… who gets a golden tongue in death? Naturally, it's Egyptian. Find out what it meant. Next, Fisher visits with Heather Maio Smith of Storyfile.com, a company that any family historian will want to know about. Heather has appeared on 60 Minutes for her artificial intelligence software that allows people to interview Holocaust survivors by speaking to their hologram recordings. Now this technology is allowing anyone to do a similar thing from their home computer or phone. You will now be able to record your stories for your descendants to literally ask you about decades from now! You can try it for free at Storyfile.com/live. Then, Fisher visits with Glen Ringuette, an adoptee who found his birth parents and then later learned about the remarkable (and chilling) past of his birth father. You never know what you're gonna get! David returns for two segments of Ask Us Anything. That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!

Pearl Harbor was a United States naval base on the island of Oahu, located west of Honolulu. On December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy bombed the Pearl Harbor Naval Base in a surprise attack. ​ Admiral Yamamoto of the Imperial Japanese Navy came to the conclusion that for the Japanese to be victorious in the pacific, they had to destroy the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor was considered to be geographically perfect for the United States to have their Pacific fleet based there. The island had a narrow entrance and shallow water which made it an ideal and impenetrable fort. An attack by enemy forces was thought to have been impossible. Prior to the attack, Japanese Naval forces practiced the attack at Kagoshima Bay, a Japanese base. It was described as the “twin sister” of Pearl Harbor for its near-identical structure.

It’s been nearly eight decades since Illinois sailor William Klasing was killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. His remains were just recently identified after a long process of identifying dozens of men who died on the USS Oklahoma. This weekend, members of his family from near and far are gathering in Trenton for a funeral procession and reburial in his honor.

Looking back at the events of Pearl Harbor.

USS Oklahoma was refloated following the Japanese attack on Pearl harbor. Lt. Alford J. Williams raised the world speed record. USS omaha and USS Somers intercepted the German blockade runner Odenwald that was disguised as a U.S. freighter

Longtime Skidompha Library friend Betsy Noyes sat down with Skidompha Community Media Producer Mal Gormley in July 2017 to record her vivid experiences as a young child on the morning of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and later. Betsy's father was an officer on the USS Tennessee, adjacent to the battleship USS Oklahoma when the Oklahoma was sunk by Japanese bombers. She also tells of being evacuated to the California and subsequent fun with her family and friends. Skidompha Sketches is a series of recordings of (mostly) local Maine residents or summer visitors with anecdotes, insights, recollections they wanted to share with us, similar to to StoryCorps recordings archived at the US Library of Congress. Like StoryCorps, our mission is to remind one another of our shared humanity, to strengthen and build the connections between people, to teach the value of listening, and to weave into the fabric of our culture the understanding that everyone’s story matters.

On December 7, 1941, an NBC radio affiliate in Honolulu made an urgent phone call to New York. In it, he begins to describe what the world would later know as the attack on Pearl Harbor. The latest in science, culture, and history from Smithsonian Channel.

In April of 2015, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced a lofty new plan. 73 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the agency would return to the scene of the disaster and perform a duty that, for multiple reasons, wouldn’t have been possible in 1941. With the help of both historical records and modern technology, the agency set out to attach a name to the remains of the 388 victims of the USS Oklahoma who were left unidentified following the aftermath of that fateful day. Of the 429 men killed aboard the Oklahoma that morning, only 35 were ever fully identified in the years that followed. The rest, the hundreds of men who were lost when their ship suddenly capsized, were buried on O’ahu inside plain, wooden coffins in mass graves with headstones marked “Unknown.” And now, a full 75 years after their final chapter ended, their story is receiving its epilogue. --- Music: Relaxing Piano Music Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License
