Countdown Expired!
National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is observed annually in the United States on December 7. It commemorates the 2,403 Americans killed in the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, prompting the U.S. to enter World War II. In 1994, Congress designated December 7 as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, signed into law by President Bill Clinton. On this day, the American flag is flown at half-staff until sunset to honor the fallen, but it is not a federal holiday, and regular activities continue. Special events may be organized by some organizations to remember and pay tribute to those affected by the attack.
