    I think it’s an important day because alot of Americans died from the sneak attack in Pearl Harbor because the emperor of Japan wanted to take over the world and he had to fight alot of countries. You find Pearl Harbor in Hawii. It happend in 70 years ago.

    I think we should remember this day because this is the day is when lots of soldiers died because of the Japanese Air Force. Mrs.Rogo you forgot quotation marks after the first said and after remember :)

    Bonus Answer: What state will you find Pearl Harbor? It’s Hawaii! Here’s some info from Wikipedia: There were numerous historical precedents for unannounced military action by Japan. However, the lack of any formal warning, particularly while negotiations were still apparently ongoing, led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7, 1941, “a date which will live in infamy”.

    Extra Bonus Answer: If Pearl Harbor happened in 1941, how many years ago was that? First of all, solve 2011-1941= 70.

    Here some important facts I googled : ” Today, the USS Arizona Memorial on the island of Oahu honors the lives lost on the day of the attack. Visitors to the memorial reach it via boats from the naval base at Pearl Harbor. Alfred Preis is the architect responsible for the memorial’s design. The structure has a sagging center and its ends strong and vigorous. It commemorates “initial defeat and ultimate victory” of all lives lost on December 7, 1941.[101] Although December 7 is known as Pearl Harbor Day, it is not considered a federal holiday in the United States. The nation does however, continue to pay homage remembering the thousands injured and killed when attacked by the Japanese in 1941. Schools and other establishments across the country respectfully lower the American flag to half-staff.[102]“.

    I think president Roosevelt said that we should remember this day because the Japanese flew over to Howie and bombed most of Americans. My grandpa was in World War II. It was 70 years ago that Pearl Harbor happened. 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,402 Americans were killed[12] and 1,282 wounded. Pearl Harbor is found in Howie.

    Pearl Harbor is located on the south coast of Oahu Island in Hawaii Pearl Harbor was originally an extensive shallow embayment called Wai Momi (meaning, “pearl water”) or Puʻuloa (meaning, “long hill”) by the Hawaiians. Puʻuloa was regarded as the home of the shark goddess, Kaʻahupahau, and her brother (or son), Kahiʻuka, in Hawaiian legends. According to tradition, Keaunui, the head of the powerful Ewa chiefs, is credited with cutting a navigable channel near the present Puʻuloa saltworks, by which made the estuary, known as “Pearl River,” accessible to navigation. Making due allowance for legendary amplification, the estuary already had an outlet for its waters where the present gap is; but Keaunui is typically given the credit for widening and deepening itDuring the early nineteenth century Pearl Harbor was not used for large ships due to its shallow entrance. The interest of the United States in the Hawaiian Islands followed its whaling and trading ships in the Pacific. As early as 1820, an “Agent of the United States for Commerce and Seamen” was appointed to look after American business in the Port of Honolulu. These commercial ties to the American continent were accompanied by the work of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. American missionaries and their families became an integral part of the Hawaiian political body.
