PEARL+HARBOR?+BOMBED?

//America's Turning Point//
On an otherwise calm Sunday morning on December 7, 1941, the Japanese shocked the world by bombing the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

This 'dastardly attack' was the turning point for America and for the War.

On December 8, the nation was gathered around its radios to hear President Roosevelt deliver his [|Day of Infamy] speech. That same day, Congress declared war on Japan. On December 11, Congress declared war on Germany.

The slogan 'Remember Pearl Harbor' mobilized a nation and helped awaken the mighty war machine and economic engine that is America.
