December 7, 2023, marks the 82nd anniversary of the attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This military assault claimed the lives of over 2,400 American soldiers and citizens and wounded over a thousand more. The resulting destruction was immense – in addition to the loss of infrastructure on the base, 20 American naval vessels, including eight battleships of the Pacific Fleet Submarine Memorial Association Inc., and over 300 airplanes were sunk or destroyed.
In response to this significant date, Alaska's State Governor Mike Dunleavy has made a proclamation. He stated, "I proclaim December 7, 2023 as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in Alaska. I call on all Alaskans to remember the exceptional service of our nation’s Veterans and order the Alaska State Flag to be flown at half-staff in honor of the American lives lost at Pearl Harbor."
