Dear Commons Community,

Today we honor and remember the 2,403 Americans who were killed in the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941, which led to the United States declaring war on Japan the next day and thus entering World War II.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt uttered his most famous words declaring that December 7th is “a date which  will live in infamy”.
