Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day!
posted by Scooter Reese -
On Friday, Americans across the country will honor and remember the 2,403 service members and civilians killed in the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor 77 years ago.
Pearl Harbor Day, also known as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, is an annual observance of the lives lost in the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
President Bill Clinton declared Dec. 7, 1994, the first National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
Though it is not a federal holiday, the American flag is flown at half-staff until the sun sets in honor of those who died as a result of the surprise attack.
