December 7 1941 was the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, marking the start of World War II for the United States in the Pacific.
While the attack on Pearl Harbor was the largest attack that day, it is important to note that it was only one of several attacks made on the US Military's Pacific presence. Another of which occuredn Midway.
On December 7 2009, we held a memorial for the US Marines that died on Midway during that first attack.
This is a photo of Matt Brown, the refuge manager talking about the importance of December 7, 1941 in front of the memorial.
