| Last week’s curation at RealClear’s American Civics portal focuses on remembering the devastating results of the surprise Sunday morning attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, a day President Franklin D. Roosevelt said would live in infamy. As Kerry J. Byrne notes, quoting text from the National World War II museum, “For nearly two hours, Japanese firepower rained down upon American ships and servicemen.” He writes that the “raid by aircraft carrier-borne warplanes sunk or damaged 21 U.S. warships—including the USS Arizona and USS Oklahoma—destroyed or damaged 347 aircraft, and killed 2,403 Americans.” As ABC news reports, a small group of “centenarian survivors…joined about 2,500 members of the public at the scene of the Japanese bombing…to commemorate those who perished 81 years ago.” The report goes on to note that “sailors aboard the USS Daniel Inouye stood along the rails of the guided missile destroyer while it passed both by the grassy shoreline where the ceremony was held and the USS Arizona Memorial to honor the survivors and those killed in the attack. Ken Stevens, a 100-year-old survivor from the USS Whitney, returned the salute.” As Tom Leatherman, superintendent of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, said during that event, “The ever-lasting legacy of Pearl Harbor will be shared at this site for all time, as we must never forget those who came before us so that we can chart a more just and peaceful path for those who follow.” In the News Will Bunch, Philadelphia Inquirer Grace Zokovitch, Boston Herald Hunter Baker, WORLD Anne Baldridge, NBC Maine Bryan McGraw, Public Discourse Sarah Schwartz, Education Week Ralph DeFalco, Law & Liberty Morgan Trau, Ohio Capitol Journal Bruce Abramson, RealClearPolitics Kerry J.
