We must never forget Pearl Harbor. It was one of the most pivotal moments in our country’s history. Pearl Harbor was called Wai Momi (“Pearl Waters”) by the Hawaiians because of the pearl oysters that once grew there. The unprecedented attack on that day, December 7, 1941, temporarily crippled the U.S. Fleet and resulted in the United States’ entry into World War II.
