                     A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Pearl 
Harbor Remembrance Day.
  Eighty-one years ago today, our Nation endured a tragic loss when 
Pearl Harbor was targeted in a surprise attack, resulting in over 2,000 
military and civilian casualties, more than 1,000 injuries, and the 
loss of a naval fleet.
  The attack on Pearl Harbor was intended to cripple the United States, 
but it did just the opposite. Men and women across the country rallied 
together to support our country as it entered World War II, from 
enlisting in the military to volunteering for the

war effort. This tragedy united our country against a common enemy.
  As a 24-year Army veteran, we must always remember this day as a 
reminder to be vigilant and always prepared.
  Today, we honor those who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl 
Harbor. May we never forget their sacrifice and service to our great 
Nation.
