I promise to remember.
Although too young to have any personal recollection of the events, as a military man, Pearl Harbor is one of the most significant events in the modern world's history and needs to be remembered. Not just for the loss of life and military hardware, but for the impact to world events that the attack that day heralded. The wounds have healed between nations. But the scars on those who served then are daily reminders of a different day on far away battlefields, that in their memory, they may reluctantly revisit.
May God grant the survivors peace...and those who perished, rest.
