Do you know what the significance of this day, Dec. 7, is?

Question

I am curious as to how many people know this. Please do not cut and paste or look it up. Just answer if you know and give some details about what happened after.

Answer 1

I'm glad so many people do actually still know. "A day we will never forget" has all but been forgotten.

My Dad was moved to Alameda Naval Air Station a few weeks before the attack because Mom was expecting her first baby (my brother was born three weeks later).

Answer 2

probable, yet no you may fairly confirm except they have an exact date interior the pre-Julian calender of whilst the census replaced into held that led to Joseph to holiday with Mary to Bethlehem to be recorded. The Pre Julian calendar consisted of 10 months with a 365 days being 304 days. whilst the Julian calendar replaced into presented in 40 six advert, the extra 2 months meant that December 25 of that 365 days coincided with Feb 25 interior the Roman calendar. the numerous adjustments led to by the guidelines approximately bounce years, and the skipping of 11 days to transform to the Georgian calendar would additionally pass a collection date ceremonial dinner out of sync with the organic cycle of seasons. exchange accessible dates for fixing chistmas to a ideal anniversary have lined would 20, April 18 or 19, March 25, January 2, November 17 or 20. Its appreciably believed that March 25 is the final date because it falls for the time of the nothern spring. As a christian, I have fun christmas on 25 December for the reality that the form occured, no longer as an anniversary.

Answer 3

Well it's the day the Pearl Harbor on the American island of Oahu was bombed "suddenly and deliberately" by the naval and air forces of the empire of Japan. I had to just recenly present FDR's speech on this date, which he refers to as "a date which will live in infamy" After, it was almost unanimously decided that the U.S. should declare war on the Japanese empire. As FDR says, "I ask the congress declare that, because of the unprovoked and dastardly attacks by the Japanese Empire on Tuesday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the united states and the empire of japan.

It's also my friend's birthday lol

Answer 4

I'll be vague. I always mistake it for December sixth, but I know that in 1941 Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese.

I think it was early in the morning on the seventh that almost two hundred planes/jets went and flew over Pearl Harbor. I think there were drills there, in case of bombings, but people didn't take them seriously because they were common. I think it was due to the fact that there were many overhead that gave an air of something peculiar in the air. The jets/planes bombed a good amount of American ships and military bases.

It's a bit sad, yes?

I might have mixed that information with Hyroshima (I don't think I even spelled THAT right).

Answer 5

It is Remembrance of Pearl Harbor when it was attacked today Dec.7 1941.

Answer 6

I haven't looked at the answers to your question, so I hope I'm not way off here, but Dec 7th was when Pearl Harbor was bombed right?

I don't want to feel like an idiot, but all I really know about it is that it was bombed by the Japanese and got the US involved in WWII. I believe the bomb neutralized a few Naval ships and Air Force aircraft.

Answer 7

December 7, 1941. My father was on board the USS Gamble in the Northwest corner of Pearl Harbor!

Answer 8

Its Pearl Harbor Day r rather the day it was bombed in Hawaii. The ship is still there as it was that morning the Japanese bombed it. It has a Memorial/ burial there for all who were on board the ship. We all get consumed but it is a day in USA History, that should never be forgotten.

Answer 9

Pearl Harbor Day. "The day that will live in infamy." After the attack by the Japanese, America officially entered World War II by declaring war on the Axis powers.

P.S. Yes, it is in Hawaii. D-Day was different. Later in the war, D-Day was when the Allies landed on the French coast.

Answer 10

Pearl Harbor Day. When the Japonese attacked our troops at Pearl Harbor. I think it is in Hawaii? I don't know. To be honest. I never really learned very much history. All my history teachers were coaches and they were only worried about the big games.
