(Dec.07) Today we're observing . . . Pearl Harbor Day
Pearl Harbor Day
By Presidential Proclamation, today we honor and remember those who were killed when the US Navel Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked by the Japanese Air Force on December 07th, 1941. Before September 11th 2001, this was the first and only only attack on US soil.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 7, 2007, as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. I encourage all Americans to observe this solemn occasion with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I urge all Federal agencies, interested organizations, groups, and individuals to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff this December 7 in honor of those who died as a result of their service at Pearl Harbor.

It is Pearl Harbor NAVAL Base, as in Navy; not NAVEL as in belly button.
