Each year on December 7, survivors of Imperial Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor join U.S. military veterans and visitors from around the world at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial to remember the 2,403 service members and civilians killed in the surprise attack. In this effort, we invite you to honor the brave men and women for their sacrifice during the tragic events of December 7, 1941, and the perseverance of Pearl Harbor heroes through the following decades that help inspire future generations. The theme of this year’s National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Commemoration is "Everlasting Legacy."
