Pearl Harbor

Lots of attention this week on some Louisiana Tech students visiting the Pearl Harbor Memorial while the team was in Hawaii last month for a bowl game. In the video, you can see some of the players say they have never heard of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Today we remember the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. It happened on December 7, 1941. President Roosevelt reacted to the deadly attack in this address to the nation.

Today is the 74th anniversary of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in the U.S. Territory of Hawaii.

Here’s a look at some interesting events that took place on this day in history: 1787 – Delaware becomes the first state to ratify the United States Constitution (More info) 1941 – In an early-morning sneak attack, Japanese warplanes bomb the US naval base at Oahu Island’s Pearl Harbor, causing the United States to enter World War II (More info)
