71 years later we still remember those 2400 + who lost their lives in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Another 1200 were seriously injured.
Americans on that Sunday had no idea how much that attack would ultimately alter all their lives. It changed the course of American history.
If you know a WWII veteran, find out all you can. WWII veterans are dying at a rate of over 1000 per day. The very youngest would be in his late 80’s.
Pearl Harbor is a stark reminder for Americans to never let their guard down.
