“A date that shall live in infamy”
- President Franklin D. Roosevelt

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave Americans who faced unimaginable odds during the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago.

On December 7, 1941, in just 90 minutes, the Imperial Japanese Navy devastated our Pacific Fleet based in Hawaii. Despite the losses, their courage united our nation and forged the path to victory in World War II.

May we never forget their sacrifice.
