President Roosevelt called the day “a date which will live infamy”.

Each of these men John Finn, Doris Miller, and Edwin Hill are all hero’s of the day.

At 7:55 am the Japanese attacked.

Reports came out that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

Lives were lost on December 7, 1941.

Help was slow in coming so three battleships, the Arizona, the California, and the West Virginia were sunk.

American-Japanese intense rivalry in the Pacific was major cause of the War.

Remaining in the ocean, the USS Arizona has its final resting place.

Bombs were dropped during World War 2.

On that day many lives were lost.

Rest in peace hero’s.
