                    75TH ANNIVERSARY OF PEARL HARBOR

  (Ms. GABBARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. GABBARD. Mr. Speaker, my heart is in Hawaii today. At almost this 
exact time, on this very day 75 years ago, the first bombs were dropped 
in the attack on Pearl Harbor. More than 2,400 people perished on that 
fateful day that will forever live in infamy.
  We remember our brothers and sisters who paid the ultimate price and 
those who answered the call to serve in the months and years that 
followed, including our two former Senators Inouye and Akaka, and the 
more than 320,000 who gave their lives in that war.
  We remember the Japanese Americans whose lives were forever changed

when, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, were thrown into internment 
camps; and the brave nisei who, in spite of these atrocities, 
volunteered to serve, forming the nisei-only ``Go for Broke'' 442nd 
Infantry Regiment, serving courageously and sacrificing greatly.
  May we never forget what happened at Pearl Harbor, the lessons 
learned, and the sacrifices of all who served.
