Significance of Pearl Harbor : '"Americans remember that this attack launched the United States into World War II. We should also remember this date as a symbol of American grit and resilience. Why? Because by April 1942, 16 Army Air Corp B-25 bombers were taking off from the USS Hornet. Under the passionate leadership of Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle, these men launched a first-of-its-kind bomber assault on mainland Japan overcoming immense odds to strike a powerful psychological blow. Then, in June—just six months after the Pearl Harbor attack crippled the U.S. Pacific Fleet—that same U.S. fleet defeated the Japanese Navy in the Battle of Midway. What the Japanese expected to be a demoralizing loss for the United States became a decisive victory and critical a turning point in America’s Pacific campaign."
