Dec. 7, 1941 was indeed “a date that shall live in infamy” as Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor, an act that brought the U.S. into WWII. More than 2,400 Americans were killed that day, and Saturday, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, marks the 83rd anniversary of the deadly event. When this photo was taken on the day of the attack, smoke was rising from the battleship USS Arizona as it sank. (AP File Photo)
