"...In November 1941, 25 members of the San Jose State College football team, and 27 football players from Willamette University, plus their head coaches and assorted friends and family members, set sail on a luxury liner to what was then the Territory of Hawaii..."

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt told the world December 7, 1941 is "...a date which will live in infamy."
