72 years ago today, over 2,000 Americans were killed and more than 1,000 were injured at the American Army and Navy base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II came as a surprise to us, and the United States declared war on Japan shortly after the invasion.

Today, Americans continue to observe December 7 and keep in mind all of the lives lost as well as the effects of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
