From Dorian de Wind, Military Affairs Columnist at The Moderate Voice:
The 75th commemoration of the Japanese attacks on Pear Harbor and other U.S. military facilities on Oahu, Hawaii, is promising to be a very special one.
First and foremost, it is an opportunity to once again remember and honor the courage of those who served and sacrificed on December 7, 1941.
More than 2,300 soldiers, sailors and Marines died in the attacks (68 civilian also lost their lives) and 1,178 military and civilians were wounded.
But the ceremonies will also be honoring the survivors, many of them well into their 90s and a few more than a century young.
