Pearl Harbor Day

December 7, 1941 was an infamous day in American history. It was the day that Japanese bombers flew to the naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and bombed. This attack was what triggered America to declare war on Japan. America had previously not been involved in World War II, but on December 8, 1941 the USA entered the war.
The war against Japan lasted until 1945 when Japan finally surrendered on August 15.
As we remember the attack that was made 72 years ago on this day, let us thank God for the heroes that gave their all so that we could be free today.
