On this day, we remember 70 years ago. December 7, 1941 a date which will live in infamy.
Read the words from Franklin D. Roosevelt in this famous Pearl Harbor Speech . FDR . WGBH American Experience | PBS
It was FDR's famous request for Congress on December 8, 1941 to declare war following the Japanese attacks of December 7th against Pearl Harbor.
If you see the American flag flying at half staff today, it is tradition, to honor those who died.
On this National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we reflect on what happened that day and all those lives which were lost.
