Charleston, SC (PRWEB) December 7, 2008 -- On December 7, 1941 the Japanese initiated a covert attack against the U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor killing over 2400 American soldiers. This ambush, termed in history by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as "a date which will live in infamy," resulted in America's entrance into WWII fighting against all opposed to world peace. VetFriends.com - the largest Web site reuniting and supporting U.S. military veterans - has created a Pearl Harbor remembrance photo page at www.vetfriends.com/militarypics - dedicated to all who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Pearl Harbor attacks, WWII and moreover throughout history.
