i just like this WWII story about Laie Hawaii Temple...

Briefly, the story goes that the late Robert Kahawaii, a Laie resident, saw a Japanese dive-bomber try to attack the Hawaii Temple on Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 1941. Sixteen years later, a Japanese man tracted out by missionaries in Matsumoto City, Japan, got very excited when an Elder Stout showed him a picture of the Temple, and then told how he was the pilot that morning. Having one bomb left, he attempted several times to drop it on the obviously important building, but was unable to release the bomb. Next he tried to strafe the temple, but his guns wouldn't fire. He even thought of crashing into the building, but his controls wouldn't work. Flying back out to sea, he successfully tested his guns, so he made one more pass . . . but just as before, nothing would work. He ended up dumping his bomb in the ocean in shame and returned to his aircraft carrier.
