OTTAWA, TODAY –Mr. Stéphane Ouellette, President and Chief Executive Officer, Merchant Navy Commemorative Theme Project (MNCTP), remembered the more than 2,400 Americans that were killed, and over 1,200 injured, during the attack on Pearl Harbor.


On December 7, 1941, over 300 Japanese airplanes attacked the naval base near Honolulu, Hawaii. This delivered a major

blow to the nation’s Pacific Fleet, annihilated more than 300 planes, and destroyed or seriously damaged nearly 20 ships.

Although the Japanese Empire focused on the destruction of the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, the attack encompassed the entire island with assaults on Army and Marine aviation bases as well as civilian facilities. This dreadful event changed the course of history, and catapulted the United States of America into World War II.


In 1994, the United States Congress designated December 7 of each year as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. The joint resolution was signed by President Bill Clinton, on August 23, 1994. On November 29, President Clinton issued a proclamation declaring December 7, 1994, the first National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
