kscarbel2 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 It's important to remember that the Japanese invaded the United States in 1942, occupying the Aleutian islands of Attu and Kiska. There was a very real fear that they could/would continue their invasion of the United States onward to the lower 48 states thru sparsely defended Alaska and Canada.
