"Valor, Sacrifice, and Peace" has been chosen as the theme for the 80th Commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The goal of the commemoration and supplemental events is to ensure that future generations will understand the valor and legacy of those who perished and those who fought throughout World War II. It was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the United States into the war.
This year's commemoration also highlights the importance of the peace that brought a reconciliation that continues to create a better future for all, the park staff said in a release.
Exact plans for public access to the commemoration events are still being determined. More information will be shared at www.nps.gov/perl, www.facebook.com/PearlHarborNPS, and www.pearlharborevents.com when it becomes available.
Park staff is monitoring the coronavirus situation and will continue to assess the impacts to the 80th National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day commemorative events.
