Why is the Pearl Harbor celebrated?

Pearl Harbor is a military base in Hawaii. Technically speaking, Pearl Harbor (as in the base) isn't celebrated but its history is remembered, read on to find out why. In a way Pearl Harbor's history is celebrated but not in a happy way. At the beginning of World War 2 (at least when the US entered) Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan. If you noticed, the US flag is at half mast on December 7th. This is because that is the day the attack occured. We sadly remember the attack. We do not "celebrate" as we do mourn.
