“a date which will live in infamy”
On the morning of December 7, 1941 the Imperial Japanese Navy brought a surprise attack on the United State’s Pacific Fleet in Hawaii. The attack on Pearl Harbor resulted in the destruction of the USS Arizona, 188 aircraft, and the death of 2,403 Americans. The following day Congress declared war on Japan, bringing the United States into World War II.
