National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is observed on December 7th each year to honor the lives lost during the surprise military attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in 1941. This event led the United States to enter World War II. On this day, ceremonies and moments of silence take place to remember the over 2,400 military personnel and civilians who died. It serves as a reminder of the importance of peace and the sacrifices made for freedom, encouraging reflection on both history and the ongoing pursuit of security and unity in the nation.
