Dec 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

[Pio1980]

The morning of the attack on the "day of infamy" that drew the United States into a world wide war, united a severely divided nation into common cause, and, for the descendants of the participants, now a day of honoring them in memoriam.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor 83 years ago launched the United States into World War II. Two survivors are planning to return to the Hawaii military base on Saturday for a remembrance ceremony.
