The bombing of Pearl Harbor took place on Sunday, December 7, 1941. In view of the fact that "the next week Pete went to Memphis," he must have gone between Sunday, December 14 and Saturday, December 20. As an aside, in this story's companion piece, "Two Soldiers," Pete appears to have gone to Memphis to enlist the following month--January 1942.
