Pearl Harbor Remembrance day

(CNN) — Today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.

On December 7, 1941,  24-hundred service members and civilians lost their lives in the two-hour air raid by Japanese forces on the U.S. Naval base in Hawaii.

The sneak attack shook America’s confidence and pulled the country into World War Two. Congress designated December 7th as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in 1994.
