In Remembrance of Pearl Harbor

Although they may be more about BBQ and family for most of us these days, still, Veterans’ Day and Memorial Day get a lot of attention. A lesser known day on the national calendar is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day — not an official holiday, but an official day of observance. Yesterday was the 74th anniversary of the attack, and Fox News pulled together some photos and a few short stories of the survivors who gathered for the event yesterday, now all in their nineties.

On the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, a surprise attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy against U.S. Pacific Forces on the Hawaiian Islands thrust the United States in World War II. The attack lasted 110 minutes, from 7:55 a.m. until 9:45 a.m. A total of 2,335 U.S. servicemen were killed and 1,143 were wounded. (Department of Defense photo by U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Michael R.
