Today is the 68th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Please remember the 2,388* Americans who lost their lives that day, 1,177 of them onboard the USS Arizona. It’s also time to honor the roughly 16 million who served the United States in the subsequent war. We are here today thanks to their service.
*This number is from the National Park Service USS Arizona monument; other sources vary from 2,117 to 2,403.
