Remembering the Pearl Harbor
The day started off just like any other day in Pearl Harbor. The ships alarmed belly to pro lay in peace. The date, December 7th, 1941. Shortly before 8 o'clock in the morning, disaster struck in Hawaii. Pearl Harbor was under an aerial attack from the Empire of Japan. Smoke filled the air as a navy men tried to defend their ships. But the attack kept on coming. Despite their best efforts, some ships were unable to be saved. The USS Arizona was one of the four ships that sink that day. Trapping over a thousand men in her depths. The attack lasted last on four hours. Leaving 2000 men dead and over a thousand more wounded. The rescue effort continued long after the attack was over. However, some ships and lives were just unable to be saved. As our national anthem says, through it all, our Star-Spangled Banner continued to wave.
On December 8th, the President Franklin Delano Roosevelt adjusted joint session of Congress. He referred to Pearl Harbor as a date which will live in injury and thus the United States entered World War II. The USS Arizona memorial sits in Pearl Harbor to remind us all of what happened that day. The battleship still sits where she sink on the infamous day. Oil continues to leak from the USS Arizona. It is said to be the tears of fallen comrades, the wall displays the names of those who lost their lives on the Arizona that day. Many of them are still in tuned inside. Once again, our flags still continues to fly. Survivors of the attack and Pearl Harbor volunteers several times a week, signing autocrats and talking with Patreon for all they have done for our country. So if the sun sets over the water, we think it's a famous battle cry. We will always remember.
