As a member of the U.S. Army at the time, I was part of the Hawaiian contingent that took the brunt of the brutal attack, without declaration of war. President Roosevelt described it as a dastardly attack which will live in infamy. Today, I believe we should again remember the date and honor the over 2,400 servicemen that lost their lives in that attack, and therefore, I would ask that you declare a moment of silence to REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR.
