~ SACRAMENTO - On December 7, 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation declaring the day as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. This marks the 83rd anniversary of the unprovoked attack by Imperial Japan on the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor.
The proclamation, which can be found below, pays tribute to the more than 2,400 American service members and civilians who lost their lives in the attack. It also honors all those who have served and continue to serve our country in battlefields around the world.
Governor Newsom stated that on this day, we reflect on the meaning of sacrifice and heroism and pay solemn tribute to those who gave their lives to defend our freedoms. He also urged Californians to remember the immense sacrifices made by our service members and to honor their legacy by striving for a safer, freer, and more just world.
The text of the proclamation reads:
"PROCLAMATION
On this day 83 years ago, Imperial Japan launched an unprovoked attack on the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, killing more than 2,400 American service members and civilians and destroying much of our nation's Pacific Fleet. This attack led President Roosevelt to call on Congress to declare an act of war the next day, stating December 7, 1941 would be a "date which will live in infamy."
