75th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor may be miles away from Fort Mill, South Carolina, but it was a day that affected all Americans.

Today marks the 75th anniversary of one of the darkest days in American History.  It began as just another day in Pearl Harbor with the sun shining, and our servicemen sleeping or eating their breakfasts in the mess hall, when it drastically changed.  

The Japanese attacked the United States without warning at 7:55am and lasted 110 mins until 9:45am.  A total of 2,335 US servicemen were killed, 1,143 wounded, 65 cililians killed and 35 wounded.  They attacked on a Sunday because they believed Americans would be more relaxed and less alert on a weekend.  

There have been events going on everyday since Novermber 2 to remember this day.  Todays events begin at 7:45am UTC. You can see a full list of the events here.

"​If you can't be in Hawaii today, and are here in beautiful Fort Mill, SC, you can still be a part of day.  Enjoy a live webcast of the Parade or purchase a dvd.  The parade begins at Fort DeRusse in Waikiki.  It proceeds down Kalakaua Ave for 1 mile, then takes Monsarrat Ave to Waikiki Shell where an evening concert is held for participants in the parade.

You may also support the commemoration by purchasing official merchandise such as hats and coins or donate helping with protection, research, preserving and passing on to future generations.

​If you are unable to make it out to Hawaii and you're near the Arizona state capital, stop by and see the signal mask, anchor and 14 inch gun from the USS Arizona.

Where ever you are today, take some time to talk with your children, grandchildren, neighbors and friends about what happened 75 years ago today.

Testimonials

"When my wife and I were searching for a real estate agent in Fort Mill, SC we came across Jenny Linich and found her website to be extremely helpful.   A few words that I use when describing Jenny are: trustworthy, honest, and  knowledgable about the market.  She goes out of her way to know all of the details about every new builder in York County, SC.  Considering all the realtors I have dealt with in  my life, I have to say that Jenny Linich was the smartest and most informative throughout the purchase of our new home.   She ensured we got the right home for our family.  She even helped us  know which builders and neighborhoods would be a bad fit for us.  Jenny truly listened to our needs and provided us with all the information we needed to make our new home purchase"
