20713017_s As we remember this solemn day in Hawaiian history, Dr. Randy Waterford and his staff salute the brave men who survived the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Events like this 74 years ago today put an international spotlight on Pearl Harbor and immediately brought the United States into World War II.

Our fathers fought in this war. We grew up in the post-war era when America prospered.

Let us always remember the men who died at Pearl Harbor and we support those who keep America safe for future generations.
