In the early morning hours of December 7, 1941, the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor came under attack. When it was over, 2,403 American sailors, soldiers and civilians were dead and another 1,143 were wounded, leading President Franklin Roosevelt to declare it as “a date which will live in infamy.”
On this National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, the House Republican Caucus honors the memories of those who perished on that fateful Sunday morning 80 years ago. Their service to our nation and their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
