December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor in Hawaii was attacked by Japan, bringing the United States into World War II.

1,177 sailors and Marines were killed on the Arizona. 2,403 military members and civilians were killed. If you are ever in Hawaii I feel like it is your duty as an American to see it first hand.
