The event of Pearl Harbor remains one of the most tragic events in American history to this day. Many lives were lost, squadrons of planes destroyed, ships sunk, hangars left in ruins, and American bloodshed. Although this is thought to be one of the most tragic events in America, it was the reason for many of the positive war-time stimulus's that helped America get to where it is today. The essential "turning point" was that America became a vital producer in materials needed for a war. Even women began to take up the jobs that the men used to do. Overall the nation was working harder than ever and America became the great nation that it is today because of the event known as Pearl Harbor.
How this event is remembered today, is that we have to remember that no matter how strong your nation is, how powerful you believe you are, you must always be ready for a attack. Unfortunately the U.S. learned that the hard way. When the japanese attacked pearl harbor many soldiers were still asleep and unprepared for anything to happen. This is the lesson we have learned and with us so has the rest of the world. Pearl harbor remains one of the most crucial dates and turning points in U.S. history not just because of the death and destruction, but mainly because of the prosperous years to come.
