The time was December 7, 1941. The wife and young son of the U.S.S.
Arizona's chaplain, Captain Thomas L. Kirkpatrick, were listening
to the radio that Sunday afternoon, when suddenly they heard: We
interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin. The
Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii by air, President
Roosevelt has just announced. The attack also was made on all Naval
and Military activities on the principal island, Oahu. The
following day, the President made his historic speech to Congress,
using language that would galvanize a shocked nation and propel
America into war. The same day, the telegram arrived that ended a
two-decade-long story about a love that endured numerous lengthy
separations while the chaplain was deployed either at sea or at a
remote duty station. How this military couple endured these
stresses yet kept their marriage alive and vibrant, forms the core
of this heartwarming and inspiring story, embedded in the sweep of
world-changing historical events.
