Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day HistoryPearl Harbor Remembrance Day commemorates the lives lost and the sacrifices made by military servicemen and civilians during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The event led to the United States' entry into World War II, marking a significant turning point in the nation's history and shaping its involvement in global affairs. The primary purpose of this day is to pay tribute to the individuals affected by the tragedy and to remember the courage, resilience, and determination displayed by the American people during this pivotal moment in history. On the morning of December 7, 1941, Imperial Japanese forces launched a surprise aerial attack on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The assault resulted in the deaths of 2,403 American servicemen and civilians, and the destruction of numerous aircraft and naval vessels. In response, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared December 7 as "a date which will live in infamy," and the United States subsequently declared war on Japan, joining the Allied forces against the Axis powers during World War II. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, also known as National Pearl Harbor Day of Remembrance, entails various events and ceremonies, such as memorial services, wreath-laying ceremonies, and patriotic concerts held throughout the country. Moments of silence and other tributes serve as solemn reminders of an historic time in American history. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is observed annually on December 7th.
