You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?
It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,
from the beautiful to the repugnant,
from the mysterious to the familiar.
If you decide to open it, you could be disappointed,
you could be inspired, you could be appalled.
This is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended.
Welcome Adventurer, To The Mystery Box!

File Unit: EF37 - Foreign Governments and Countries - Japan, 12/7/1941 - 12/7/1941. Series: General Correspondence, 1930 - 1943. Record Group 181: Records of Naval Districts and Shore Establishments, 1784 - 2000.
This Navy dispatch announces the attack on the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii by the Japanese Navy. It was received at the Squantum Naval Reserve Aviation Base on December 7, 1941 from the First Naval District. It states, “AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR X THIS IS NOT DRILL.”
Today we remember the 2,403 Americans who were killed
during the attack on Pearl Harbor, 83 years ago today.
May their memory be a blessing.
On January 20, 2020 the Navy announced CVN 81, the newest Gerald R. Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, would be named in honor of Mess Attendant 3rd Class Doris Miller; the first black Sailor to be awarded the Navy Cross for his heroism during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Miller provided assistance to several wounded shipmates aboard USS West Virginia (BB 48) before manning a .50-caliber machine gun, despite not having any training on the weapon. Miller shot down multiple Japanese aircraft before carrying West Virginia's captain to safety. Future USS Doris Miller (CVN 81) is the first aircraft carrier to be named after an enlisted Sailor and the first to be named after an African American. CVN 81 is scheduled to be delivered in 2032
