Thoughts on Pearl Harbor Attack
464
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese fascist navy successfully attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, killing 2,403 Americans, including innocent civilians, and wounding more than a thousand. After the attack, U.S. President Roosevelt called it "a date that will live in infamy" in his famous "National Disgrace Speech". This day also became a day of remembrance for the United States.
