Day of Infamy - December 7, 1941, It is the day that the Japanese bombed pearl harbor, right before the U.S. joined in the war creating another World War.
December 7th 1941 is the day that America was finally attacked from a foreign country and brought it into the second World War. The attack started at 7:55 am and lasted for 110 minutes. The Japanese sent two waves around 45 minutes apart. Many of the men on the base were either eating in the mess hall or still not dressed. When the Americans were alerted they knew who was attacking them by the meatball "Japanese Flag" on the side of the plane. Nearly 2500 American soldiers were killed and another 1000 were wounded, along with 68 civilians on this day. The Japanese only lost 65 men with another being captured. The next day America declared war on the Japanese and then on the 11th we declared war against Germany and Italy after they declared it on us.
