I remember my mom telling me that on the day of the attack, Dec. 7, 1941, there was a large group of people who gathered at Ocean Beach. They were all gazing westward to see if they could get a glimpse of smoke on the horizon. Imagine that. It was a combination of fear, concern, innocence, and ignorance that prevailed at the time.
