Seventy years ago, Japanese warplanes attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor base on a morning that changed the world in myriad ways.
Within a day, the United States had declared war on Japan. Thus began the American effort that rapidly escalated into a global fight against tyranny. By the time World War II was finished, the United States had emerged as a dominant military and economic power for generations.
This is a day to honor the memory of those who lost their lives Dec. 7, 1941, and the millions of Americans who then responded in service and sacrifice to this nation's greatest challenge of the 20th century.
