This is how we should think about the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years later.
On Sunday, we observed the 84th anniversary of Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. There are relatively few Americans alive today who remember that dreadful day – and many who only know about it from history class.
This struck me, because I realized America’s institutional memory of the attack and its implications is in danger of fading – and we must not let it.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was one of the most decisive moments in American history. There are profound moral and emotional reasons that we remember that infamous Sunday morning 84 years later.
