Pearl Harbor is what most people think of when they think of the Japanese bombing a harbor on US soil. However, there was another harbor that was bombed as well, and that was Dutch Harbor, Alaska. This video will tell you all about it. 

This video has to do with the military in Alaska. Alaska has been important strategically to many military operations, particularly after World War II. 

"During World War II the remote Aleutian Islands, home to the Unangan (Aleut) people for over 8,000 years, became a fiercely contested battleground in the Pacific.

This thousand-mile-long archipelago saw invasion by Japanese forces; the occupation of two islands; a mass relocation of Unangax civilians; a 15-month air war; and one of the deadliest battles in the Pacific Theater."
