I heard of a 16-year old today who didn’t know about Pearl Harbor!
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor 75 years ago was one of the most significant events in world history – it brought America into World War II. There were 2,403 American lives that were lost, and another 1,178 who were injured in the surprise air attack.
Here is a fantastic photo gallery:
