Farragut historian brings to life tragic events

“Tora! Tora! Tora!” (Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!) That was the code phrase the Japanese army used to signal the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, which occurred Dec. 7, 1941. Farragut historian and retired history teacher Frank Galbraith shared the command as he related the events leading up to and taking place during and after the Dec. 7 attack to more than 50 people in his presentation, Day of Infamy, in Farragut Town Hall’s Board Room Monday evening, Dec. 1. Hosted by Farragut Museum Committee and Town Parks and Recreation Department, the presentation offered a look into World War II and even how it impacted East Tennessee. Galbraith also paid tribute to U.S. military veterans, who were asked to stand near the end of the presentation.
