Pearl Harbor: The 60th Anniversary
"December 7th this year marks the 60th anniversary of one of the most
poignant and somber days in our history, a date President Roosevelt
declared at the time to be one that would "forever live in infamy." Sadly,
this is a phrase that has also found itself in the headlines again, 60
years later. It was of course the date of Japan=92s devastating and deadly
attack on Pearl Harbor. 60 years later ceremonies of remembrance will take
place across the United States. The President and U.S. military chiefs will
gather to honor the Americans who died in the attack. " - from the website

more detailed historical account of the circumstances leading to December
7th. Photos are interspersed throughout the website. Also included is the
