The Pearl Harbor remembrance ceremony in Hawaii commemorated the 84th anniversary of the attack that killed over 2,300 troops and launched the U.S. into World War II.
The Pearl Harbor remembrance ceremony began in Hawaii on Sunday with a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., the same time the Japanese bombing began on Dec. 7, 1941.
The annual ceremony marked the 84th anniversary of the attack, which killed more than 2,300 troops and propelled the U.S. into World War II.
« With this commemoration we recognize the importance of remembering the moment in the past when the prospects for peace were shattered and our nation was plunged into global war », said David Ono, the event’s master of ceremonies.
