President Franklin Roosevelt would describe it as "a day that will live in infamy." Eighty years ago on December 7, 1941, the military forces of the Empire of Japanese launched a sneak attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and the surrounding facilities. The primary targets that day were the eight battleships of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet.

All would be sunk, but six would later be returned to action. In total 2,403 Americans were killed on that faithful day. Yet, Americans rallied, unified and came together.

On Tuesday, the hashtag #PearlHarbor was trending, as Americans young and old posted on social media and reflected on that moment that changed the nation. Images and videos were shared that reminded why it was truly the "Greatest Generation" that stood up to the challenge that began on the sunny Sunday morning in Hawaii eight decades ago.

"Today we take the time to reflect, remember, and honor the 2,403 Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice at #PearlHarbor 80 years ago. Our @USArmy will continue to honor the fallen and those impacted by this tragic day while safeguarding democracy and defending our nation," the official account of the Secretary of the Army posted.

The U.S. Coast Guard (@USCG) tweeted, "A date which will live in infamy. Today we pause to honor our American heroes and remember those who lost their lives 80 years ago during the attack on #PearlHarbor that launched our nation into World War II."

Note: The links above represent American Values along with the sacrifices that
were given by many lives so that Freedom would rule. The 2nd World War is now
history. But it's still part of our American History - and the issues that got us there
- and how we vanquished those who did the nasty deeds.
-
Most of the WWII vets are thinning out - we the next generation must carry their
values, memories and sacrifice's - so as to them pass them down to our kids - and
then to our grand-kids - so that they all know the cost of freedom isn't always free.
Those nations who would do us harm - will never take away our American values.
-
Today we still have issues - but we've had them in the past as well - and we will
again in the future. But America will remain - as long as those who follow us - thrive
to ensure that it does.
-
Your Freedoms & your future - were given to you by other generations handed down
by Veteran's at the cost of many. To loose your faith in your Country - is to loose the
gifts that so many died to maintain. Don't destroy the image and/or the future -
by altering your American values - given to you at great cost - by so many.
-
God Bless America and It's People
