A moment of silence will be observed at 7:55 a.m. local time, the moment the attack began, followed by a speech from Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro.
One survivor of the attack, Herb Elfring – who is now 99-years-old – told the Associated Press that he remembers thee Japanese zero planes flying overhead during the attack and bullets raining down on his Army base a few miles down the coast from the harbor.
The attack killed more than 2,300 U.S. troops, nearly half of whom were Marines and sailors stationed aboard the USS Arizona.
The ceremony this year, which is expected to include about 130 veterans of the war, will take place against the backdrop of significant winds and extremely heavy rains hitting Hawaii. A spokesperson for the Navy confirmed to the AP that no plans to cancel the event had yet been put into action.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
