Seventy-five years ago today, hundreds of Japanese bombers attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor. America's shock, and its grief for the more than 2,000 US military dead on this date of "infamy" led to overwhelming unity of purpose as we entered a world war.


2403 non combatants were killed and 1178 no combatants were wounded.

There were survivors in the Arizona trapped in the hull who survived for two weeks who could not be rescued. Members of the US Navy refused to walk their watch after the bombing, because the could not stand to hear the banging by the trapped men.

Since there was no declaration of war, weren’t they all noncombatants?
