80 years ago, just before 8:00 AM on Sunday, December 7th, a mass of Japanese planes began a surprise bombing raid on Pearl Harbor that would destroy or damage 20 American naval vessels and over 300 aircraft. 

2,403 Americans – including Navy personnel, Marines, Army members, and civilians – lost their lives as a result of the attack. The USS Arizona was hardest hit, with nearly half the total loss of life coming from service members aboard this vessel, specifically.
