Dec. 7, 1941, “A Day of Infamy,” declared President Roosevelt.

How many people remember this song from World War II?

“Let’s remember Pearl Harbor

As we go to meet the foe.

Let’s remember Pearl Harbor

As we did the Alamo.

We will always remember

How they died for liberty.

Let’s remember Pearl Harbor

And go on to victory.”
