National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Public Law 103-308

Whereas, on December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force attacked units of the armed forces of the United States stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii;

Whereas, more than 2,000 citizens of the United States were killed and more than 1,000 citizens of the United States were wounded in the attack on Pearl Harbor;

Whereas, the attack on Pearl Harbor marked the entry of the United States into World War II;

Whereas, the veterans of World War II and all other people of the United States commemorate December 7 in remembrance of the attack on Pearl Harbor; and

Whereas, commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor will instill in all people of the United States a greater understanding and appreciation of the selfless sacrifice of the individuals who served in the armed forces of the United States during World War II: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That December 7 of each year is designated as "National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day" and the President is authorized and requested--

(1) to issue annually a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities; and

(2) to urge all Federal agencies, and interested organizations, groups, and individuals, to fly the flag of United States at halfstaff each December 7 in honor of the individuals who died as a result of their service at Pearl Harbor.



Listen to President Roosevelt's speech to Congress, Dec. 8, 1941.

Thanks for your excellent post Linda.
This morning, my sons and I watched Tora!Tora!Tora! together. Every once in a while, Hollywood justifies its existence by producing a film that depicts real heros, and real history.

I had forgotten about the part where the National Park Service, in a battle with the Department of War, did not want radar on "their" land.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Did you make all of that just for us?

Well....I sort of lifted the food from the Gourmet Magazine chefs at www.epicurious.com. Only the best for our troops and Canteeners (when the Supply Officer can find it). (^:

My husband's grandfather was killed on the USS Shaw in Pearl Harbor.

God bless him and all those who perished there.

"Today we will be saying a special prayer for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice --
on this day of infamy and all the fallen who paid for our freedom with their blood."

Thank You remembering those who died defending America's Freedom.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"God Bless those brave men and women who gave that last full measure of thier devotion to thier country!
May they never be found to have died in vain!"

They did not die in vain because we still have our Freedom.
