Why should we never forget the attack on Pearl Harbor?
We should never forget the attack on Pearl Harbor because it is a reminder of the horror of war. Many lives are lost in wars. Families are torn apart and those who survive wars are often left with injuries to their bodies or their minds. The traumas of war make it difficult for them to live a normal life after experiencing things so frightening like bombs thundering, things being destroyed, and people struggling. Furthermore, the attack on Pearl Harbor should be a reminder that maintaining peace throughout the world is the only way this kind of tragedy would never happen again.
