It was a calm, peaceful morning in paradise when a brutal, surprise air attack changed the world forever. That attack happened 70 years ago today. One day later, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke to a heartbroken nation.
The nation will pause today, some at public ceremonies and many in private, to simply remember those who died on that day and in the years following, by choosing to serve the country they love. 3 men from Wyoming died on the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor including Fireman 2nd Class James Orries Morgareidge, Machinist's Mate 2nd Class Elmer Emil Christensen of Johnson and Seaman First Class Delbert Ray Fisher of Albany. A total of 2402 persons died on that day... 1177 of them on the USS Arizona which now is a National Memorial that is maintained by our National Park Service.
