This is an aerial view of the USS Arizona Memorial with a US Navy (USN) Tour Boat, USS Arizona Memorial Detachment, moored at the pier as visitor disembark to visit and pay their respects to the Sailors and Marines who lost their lives during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
The attack on Pearl Harbor happened eighty years ago today. Prior to the 9-11 attacks, this was the deadliest foreign attack on the United States.
Immediately prior to 9:00 AM on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes attacked the United State Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. They managed to destroy or damage nearly twenty American naval vessels, including eight battleships, and over three hundred aircraft.
More than 2,400 Americans died in the attack, including civilians, and another 1,000 people were wounded. The day after the assault, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan.
While we are dedicated to never forgetting 9-11 or the tragedy of September 11, we also remember America’s greatest generation and the strength and willpower that helped America defeat fascism.
Today, the site of the sunken remains of USS Arizona sits a National Park Service Memorial location.
