On the 80th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack against America, Fox News Digital reveals the thoughts of veterans across the country.
He added, "A lot of young guys enlisted during World War II to be part of the war effort. Many of them were even underage. They wanted to help this country — to help our country. They wanted us to win. There was a feeling of unity toward a common goal."
This same veteran, who served during the Vietnam era, also said, "And if we don't unite today, we will certainly fall."
The Pearl Harbor attack against the United States was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, at 7:48 a.m. local time, eighty years ago to this day. That attack led to America’s entry into World War II in the Pacific and European theaters. The Pearl Harbor attack killed 2,403 U.S. personnel, including 68 civilians, and destroyed or damaged 19 U.S. Navy ships, including eight battleships, according to the National World War II Museum.
