Pearl Harbor Remembered

 

Pearl Harbor Day, December 7

December seventh of every year shall be known and designated as "Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day". It shall be a day on which to commemorate the sacrifice of more than two thousand citizens of the United States who were killed and more than one thousand citizens who were wounded when the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force attacked units of the armed forces of the United States stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This caused the United States to enter into World War II.

 

The teachers and students shall observe this day with appropriate exercises. All citizens should devote some portion of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day to solemn contemplation of the selfless sacrifice made by those who gave their lives for their country in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The flag of the United States shall fly at half-staff each December seventh in honor of the individuals who died as a result of their service at Pearl Harbor.

 

December 7, 1941 is the day President Franklin Roosevelt refered to when he said "the Day That Shall Live In Infamy".

 

<S>To the veterans of that terrible day...
