Today marks the 79th anniversary of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, which propelled America into World War II. The attack killed 2,403 Americans — including 2,008 Navy personnel, 109 Marines, 218 Army members, and 68 civilians — and left an additional 1,143 injured. We use this time today to remember the tremendous loss of life from that fateful morning, and the way Americans from across the country came together to join the war effort as the United States officially entered the world’s deadliest conflict. My thoughts go out to our WWII veterans for their tremendous sacrifice, and those that made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our way of life.
