Proclamation 10996 of December 5, 2025
National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, 2025
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
On December 7, 1941, a peaceful Sunday morning on the
Hawaiian island of Oahu was shattered by an unprovoked
attack by the naval and air forces of the Empire of
Japan on the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl
Harbor and the aircraft and hangars at Kaneohe, Ford
Island, Barbers Point, and Hickam Field. The surprise
offensive claimed the lives of 2,403 American service
members and civilians and propelled our Nation into the
Second World War.
The Japanese mission was designed to cripple our
military assets and obliterate the American spirit, but
instead, the fatal attacks rallied our shattered
citizenry and fueled our resolve. Young men from every
corner of our country put their lives and futures on
hold and were thrust into bloody and brutal battles of
historic consequence that would forever change the
world. Although untested in battle, these patriots,
still reeling from horror and disbelief, united in a
singular mission: to defeat tyranny. The exceptional
courage and immeasurable sacrifices of the Greatest
Generation secured our way of life and the blessings of
freedom for future generations.
In the decades since the ``date which will live in
infamy,'' the aggressor has become our loyal ally and
trusted friend. Japan is one of our closest security
partnerships, and our military forces work together
every day to defend our common interests. We are united
by commerce, history, culture, and mutual respect. Our
strong alliance is a testament to the transformational
power of peace, diplomacy, and democracy.
The lessons learned 84 years ago on that fateful day
still resound with America's exceptional fighting
force. We must remain ever vigilant and prepared to
annihilate any foe who dares to threaten our liberty.
This annual day of remembrance must be held in the
highest esteem and reverence as we honor the Americans
who laid down their lives to defend our homeland on the
island of Oahu and in the battles of World War II.
The Congress, by Public Law 103-308, as amended, has
designated December 7 of each year as ``National Pearl
Harbor Remembrance Day.''
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim December 7, 2025, as
National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. I encourage all
Americans to observe this solemn day and to honor our
military, past and present, with appropriate ceremonies
and activities. I urge all Federal agencies and
interested organizations, groups, and individuals to
fly the flag of the United States at half-staff in
honor of those American patriots who died as a result
of their service at Pearl Harbor.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
fifth day of December, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
