JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating December 7 of each year as ‘‘National Pearl
Harbor Remembrance Day’’.
•HJ 131 RH
Whereas, on December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy
and Air Force attacked units of the armed forces of the
United States stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii;
Whereas more than 2,000 citizens of the United States were
killed and more than 1,000 citizens of the United States
were wounded in the attack on Pearl Harbor;
Whereas the attack on Pearl Harbor marked the entry of the
United States into World War II;
Whereas the veterans of World War II and all other people
of the United States commemorate December 7 in re-
membrance of the attack on Pearl Harbor; and
Whereas commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor will
instill in all people of the United States a greater under-
standing and appreciation of the selfless sacrifice of the
individuals who served in the armed forces of the United
States during World War II: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That December 7 of each year is designated as ‘‘National
Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day’’ and the President is
authorized and requested—
(1) to issue annually a proclamation calling on
the people of the United States to observe the day
with appropriate ceremonies and activities; and
(2) to urge all Federal agencies, and interested
organizations, groups, and individuals, to fly the flag
of the United States at halfstaff each December 7
•HJ 131 RH
in honor of the individuals who died as a result of
their service at Pearl Harbor.
