Day of Infamy observed quietly at Pearl Harbor Hawaii
Pearl Harbor marked the 71st anniversary of the December 7 1941 attack with quiet observances near the Arizona memorial. A nine hole golf course on Oahu and a boxing program at Bloch Gym drew attention as veterans groups planned flowers for 1162 men entombed in the Arizona while larger ceremonies were avoided. The Navy cited a policy limiting tributes to Memorial Day. The Arizona remains formally in commission with its crew aboard as ships like the carrier Constellation and other vessels passed by in tribute.
