Today, we honor the lives lost and the bravery shown during the attack on Pearl Harbor. On this day in 1941, a tragic event changed the course of history and led the United States into World War II.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on the courage of the men and women who served, and the sacrifices made by so many. We will never forget their legacy. #PearlHarborDay #HistoryMatters #TheTrojanWay
