A Solemn Anniversary, And Today's News

Today is the 75th anniversary of the "date which will live in infamy", when the Japanese navy attacked Pearl Harbor and Hickam Field in Hawaii.  Early this morning, a moment of silence was observed at Pearl Harbor.  About 4,000 people were expected to attend a commemoration ceremony.  Survivors of the attack attended the ceremony in Hawaii, or a reception in Los Angeles.  As some look back, the attack is said to have "shaped the modern world".
