With a failed car bomb currently in the news and The Pacific miniseries nearing a conclusion on HBO, this is just a reminder that today is the 65th anniversary of the only people killed by enemy attack in the mainland of America during World War II. The deaths were caused by a Japanese balloon bomb on May 5, 1945.

To read my 2009 post on that event, go to "Long before 9/11 there was 5/5".
