PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (Dec. 7, 2008)
Sailors aboard the Pearl Harbor-based guided missile destroyer USS Chung-Hoon (DDG
93) render honors as the ship performs a pass in review during a joint U.S.
Navy/National Park Service ceremony commemorating the 67th anniversary of the
attack on Pearl Harbor. The theme of this year's historic commemoration,
"Pacific War Memories: The Heroic Response to Pearl Harbor," emphasized the
brave efforts of those who fought at sea, on land, and in the air, to turn the
tide in the Pacific. More than 2,000 distinguished guests and the general public
joined service members, Pearl Harbor survivors and their families and friends
for the annual observance.
