We remember the more than 2,400 U.S. servicemembers from U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, and U.S. Marine Corps who perished during the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941, including 189 Army Air Forces Airmen at Hickam Field.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten and reminds us what it means to serve. We have the watch!
