ORLEANS, Mass. – The 100th anniversary of the only enemy attack on American soil during World War I was commemorated with a wartime song at an event attended by descendants of a captain from a local lifesaving station. A German U-156 submarine shelled a tugboat near Orleans, in Cape Cod, on July 21, 1918, the first attack on the U.S. in 100 years. The U-boat sent hits to the tugboat Perth Amboy and its four barges and left an hour later.

Nice.While we have reports about the attack itself this is the first one I've seen on the town's 100th anniversary commemoration.

Thanks for sharing that. :sunny:
