Washington, D.C. – House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Adam Smith (D-WA) made the following statement on the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor:
“Today, we commemorate the heroism and sacrifice of the more than 2,400 Americans who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor. We will never forget them or their deeds, nor those of the millions more who fought to defeat fascism and forge a new international order that helped to secure peace around the globe. It is our profound duty to continue honoring them, by providing for our veterans and ensuring that we care for our men in women and uniform second to none.”
