Pearl Harbor Commemorative Coin
When Japanese planes attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, it drew America into World War II - forever changing the world and America's place in it. So eloquently referred to by FDR as "a day that will live in infamy" during his speech to Congress asking for a declaration of war in the wake of the airstrike, Pearl Harbor claimed the lives of more than 2,300 military personnel and severely damaged the U.S. naval fleet.
