161207-N-AI605-128 PEARL HARBOR (Dec. 7, 2016) Sailors assigned to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) prepare for the arrival of the official party during the 75th Commemoration Event of the attacks on Pearl Harbor and Oahu at JBPHH. The 75th commemoration, co-hosted by the U.S. Military, the National Park Service and the State of Hawaii, provided veterans family members, service members and the community a chance to honor the sacrifices made by those who were present Dec. 7, 1941, as well as throughout the Pacific theater. Since the attacks, the U.S. and Japan have endured more than 70 years of continued peace, a corner stone of security and prosperity in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. As a Pacific nation, the U.S. is committed to continue its responsibility of protecting the Pacific sea-lanes, advancing international ideals and relationships, well as delivering security, influence and responsiveness in the region.
