"December 7, 1941 a date which will live in infamy the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."
Let us never forget Pearl Harbor 🇺🇲. On this day, 82 years ago, this surprise attack, which all happened in only ONE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES, damaged all 8 of the battleships that were at port and sunk 4. Three cruisers, three destroyers, a training shop, and 188 US aircraft were all destroyed, which resulted in the loss of 2,403 American lives, with another 1,178 injured. This unprovoked attack led to the United States entry into WWII.
Today, the USS Arizona, the only battleship to not be raised, is memorialized in the shallow waters of Pearl Harbor, serving as a reminder of this tragically infamous day.
