On this day 84 years ago, more than 2,400 U.S. service members and civilians were killed and another 1,100 were injured after a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The attack destroyed or sank dozens of U.S. Navy battle ships, including the USS Arizona, and destroyed 188 aircrafts.

This day is designated as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day to honor those who died on that fateful day in Hawaii. To those who lost their lives in service to our country, thank you for your sacrifice and service.
