Pearl Harbor 80th Anniversary Reading of the Names

Ninety minutes after Imperial Japan began its attack on Pearl Harbor, it was over.

2,008 Navy sailors were killed and 710 others wounded; 218 Army soldiers and airmen were killed and 364 wounded; 109 Marines were killed and 69 wounded; and 68 civilians were killed and 35 wounded. In total, 2,403 Americans died and 1,178 were wounded.

On the morning of December 7th at 9 a.m. ET, the Friends of the National World War II Memorial will host the Reading of the Names at the WWII Memorial in honor of the 2,403 men and women killed at Pearl Harbor 80 years ago.

Over the course of three hours, the name of each of these individuals who lost their lives on that fateful day will be read and remembered at the WWII Memorial.
