We remember and honor the 2,403 Americans that fell, fought, sacrificed, and died on this fateful day of December 7, 1941. We vowed as a Nation never to let a military attack happen on the United States by surprise again, and we as a Nation continue to uphold that vow.
December 7th is a painful and powerful reminder of the U.S. Homeland not being defended. December 7th became a catalyst and a unifier to bring our Nation and the World together to defeat the Axis Powers who pursued a change of World order and supremacy. The unity amongst all of our Allies, including Russia and China, resulted in us winning together and changing the world together to prevent another World War from ever happening again.
We must continue to invest in our people, our economic growth, and our diplomacy by unification with our allies and through our resources to hold that vow of December 7, 1941 of deterrence, the World Order, and defense of the US Homeland.
