Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Pearl Harbor
Remembrance Day in United States.
It was the 7th
morning of December 1941 when numerous numbers of Japanese navy aircraft
attacked the US navy and army bases and navy ships in Perl Harbor, Hawaii in
total surprise.
Though it isn’t a
national holiday, the day has been observed by the government offices, schools
and other services with the nation’s flag flown at half-mast to honor those who
died in the attack. There are special services and events held to commemorate
the attack that led the country into World War II.
Since the
International Date Line, or IDL, lies between Hawaii and Japan, the event is
dated on the 8th in Japan. There aren’t any notable events or
services taken place in the country as the day led it into a devastating war
and defeat.
Enjoy reading and
learning about the historic day in the Pacific.
