Marmite!! Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 It was 71 years ago today that the United States was attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy at Pearl Harbor on Oahu, Hawaii. It marked the beginning of the United States involvement in World War II. Every year that passes fewer survivors of the attack return to the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial to pay their respects to their comrades who died on that "date that will live in infamy" the youngest of the survivors are approaching 90 years of age.
