Remembering the Attack on Pearl Harbor

Our last full day in Hawaii was today, December 7th, which you might recognize as the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We heard that there were a number of events in the area remembering the attack and honoring veterans. We did not get the chance to attend any of the events today since we had made other plans before we realized the overlap of this day with our time here. But I still think it's pretty cool that we got to be in Hawaii during this time. If you are interested in seeing what type of events they had here you can find the schedule and possibly some video here: http://www.pearlharborevents.com/ . I plan on checking out some of the live stream videos when we get back from our trip.

One reason I have an interest in these events is because back in my college years I had the chance to do a creative project relating to a historic event for a class. I chose to make an animated video of the attack on Pearl Harbor. So I thought it was worth sharing considering today's events. I was really into the anime at the time, so this was my attempt to mimic lots of different anime animation styles. I hope you enjoy.

The sun setting over Pearl Harbor today which I'm sure is a very different picture from 74 years ago. That's kind of crazy to think about.
