Today marks an extremely important day in history. On December 7, 1941, the United States was attacked by the Empire of Japan as a result of increasing hostility between these two great nations. This day would mark the day that the United States officially became a member of World War II, deploying its Navy in the Pacific Theatre. Over twenty-three hundred sailors and military personnel were killed, and more than seventeen hundred were wounded. Take a moment to honor these men and women who fought the war against Imperialism.
This was the declaration of war by the President of the United States at the time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, on December 8, 1941.
