   December 7 marks the anniversary of the Japanese attack on the U.S.
   naval base of Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian islands 72 years ago.
   Thousands of people gather at Pearl Harbor every year to commemorate
   the anniversary of the 1941 attack that launched the U.S. into World

   of elderly survivors of the attack.

   in Pearl Harbor were attacked by warplanes of the Imperial Japanese
   Navy. More than 2,000 Americans were killed and more than 1,000 were
