National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day aka Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day or Pearl Harbor Day, is observed each year in the United States on December 7. The day memorializes and honors 2,403 Americans who were killed in the unprovoked and unanticipated Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. This attack led to the United States declaring war on Japan the next day. Thus the United States of America entered World War II. Pearl Harbor Day was selected as the day upon which my late biological father would be interred at Clinton United Methodist Church cemetery in Salley, South Carolina. It has and always will be one of my most profound days of mourning for that reason. |
