The Pearl Harbor Tribute
stands as a solemn and enduring memorial to the American service members and civilians who perished during the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941—a pivotal event that propelled the United States into World War II. This devastating assault, executed by the Imperial Japanese Navy, targeted the U.S. Pacific Fleet at its base on Oahu, Hawaii. In two waves of aerial strikes involving hundreds of aircraft launched from six carriers, Japanese forces inflicted severe damage on Battleship Row and nearby airfields.
Key elements of the conflict include the targeting of major warships, most notably the battleships USS Arizona (which exploded after a bomb detonated its forward magazine, resulting in 1,177 fatalities), USS Oklahoma (capsized with 429 losses), and others such as USS West Virginia, USS California, USS Nevada, USS Maryland, USS Tennessee, USS Pennsylvania, and the ex-battleship USS Utah. Additional vessels damaged included cruisers, destroyers, and support ships, alongside the destruction of over 180 aircraft. The attack lasted approximately 90 minutes, claiming 2,403 American lives (including 68 civilians) and wounding 1,178 more, while Japanese losses remained comparatively light.
This tribute panel honors the fallen from the Pearl Harbor attack, encompassing the names of all recorded casualties—military personnel from the Navy, Army, Marine Corps, and civilians—who lost their lives on that date. It serves as a dignified remembrance of their sacrifice, underscoring the profound impact of this "date which will live in infamy," as declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
