On this Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we honor the unwavering courage and selfless sacrifice of the Service members and War Department civilians who charged into smoke, fire, and chaos to defend our nation. As we mark this solemn anniversary, the legacy of the heroes of Pearl Harbor continues to inspire and guide us. Their example reminds us that America’s strength is forged in the Foundry—where we recruit, train, and shape Sailors of character; that it is proven in the Fleet—sailing every ocean
