2
00:00:05,170 --> 00:00:07,337

the United States and , indeed , the 

4
00:00:09,392 --> 00:00:12,270
world . As we honor the 2403 service

lives in the unprovoked attack on Pearl 

7
00:00:16,548 --> 00:00:18,714
Harbor , an attack that catapulted the 

8
00:00:18,714 --> 00:00:20,937
nation into the largest conflict in our 

9
00:00:20,937 --> 00:00:22,770
history . We also recall how our

00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,970
during World War Two , representing 80% 

13
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:31,980
of the Navy over the course of that 

14
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:34,440
conflict . On this day , we honor our 

15
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,329

16
00:00:36,329 --> 00:00:38,384

17
00:00:38,384 --> 00:00:40,218
nation and all those who bravely 

18
00:00:40,218 --> 00:00:42,051

19
00:00:42,051 --> 00:00:44,280
courage under fire and toughness under 

20
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,620
