"This is a day to reflect on one of the darkest moments in our nation's history, and to honor the courage shown by our Armed Forces during the battle at Pearl Harbor and in World War II. Today is an opportunity to recognize these heroes and their bravery, and to recall the sacrifices they made on behalf of a grateful country."
