Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day honors the lives lost during the surprise attack on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. This tragic event claimed the lives of more than two thousand Americans and led the United States to enter World War Two.

This day is on the calendar to ensure that the memory of those who perished is preserved and respected. It serves as a reminder of the cost of freedom and the importance of vigilance in the face of adversity. The bravery shown by service members on that day and in the battles that followed continues to inspire generations.

Across the nation, flags are flown at half staff, and moments of silence are held to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and unity that arose from the tragedy. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is a time to honor those who served, remember the lessons of history, and reaffirm our commitment to peace and resilience.
