Pearl Harbor was significant to America because Hawaii was a part of America and was attacked by Japan, making America going to war against the Axis (Italy, Germany, and Japan).

I was very shocked at some of the stories shared about the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was also very sad. I think if I could ask a veterian that went through that a question, it would probably be How did you survive? How did it feel when it was all over? How did this effect the rest of your life?

I was very shocked and confused of why Japan, who we are very fond of now, would land bombs on our beloved pacific islands. If I could meet up with one of the veterans and ask them one question, I would ask them what we should do to prepare ourselves if an emergancy like this if anything happened, especially with North korea and their missiles.

One of the biggest, most important lessons that our country can draw from Pearl Harbor, as well as the entirety of World War II, is to pay close attention to events happening away from home and beyond our borders. While Hitler took control of Germany and formed a military alliance with Japan, most Americans still felt impartial and safe from war in the far off countries. It was easy to tell that Hitler wanted to take over all of Europe, and probably the planet, by his actions, yet the United States did not feel the need to engage in a full-out war. It took a devastating attack on Pearl Harbor and thousands of deaths for us to realize that World War II was coming for the United States. Today, we need to be alert as a nation, and realize when we need to get involved in foreign affairs to stop evil in its tracks before something like Pearl Harbor happens again. We also need to keep in mind when to keep our distance, however; sometimes, our presence can do more harm than good. We need to understand when the United States needs to intervene, and when our help can only cause more deaths and longer wars.

If we learn about our past and the mistakes we made, we can avoid making the same ones in the future.

I was shocked to hear some of the stories from people who experienced pearl Harbor,  for example how the fleet of ships had set port in pearl Harbor only  12 hours before japan attacked. Also a different view on what happened and a perspective from someone who experienced it.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the biggest things for us to learn from our past is to never jump to conclusions. For example, after the bombing, the US thought that it was over, and they celebrated. Little did they know that Japan would attack again.

I was very surprised with some of the stories shared. If I could ask any one of them a question about it, I would ask them how they felt while it was happening.

This tragic, historical event affected so many people, my reaction could be described as shocked, saddening, and suprised. Their personal stories also gave me different perspectives. I would think that the military would be prepared for such a thing even on a 'mellow' day where they believed it was over. I would ask the veterans, how could we prepare for something like this (like the North Korea missels)?, how has this affected the rest of your life?, and how did you feel after  that day?

The tragic Pearl Harbor bombing teaches valuable lessons and we can use what happened to realize our mistakes and make better out of it in the future. We should always be alert, and ready to face war, America had jumped to conclusions and that fault had caused us not to be prepared and in result we took in a lot of damage and lost lives. This also connects to the fact that even though we may not want to be a part of war, America should take precautions and create foreign relations (although we must keep our distance because getting too close to another nation may lead to more harm than good), we should also be aware of what we do to other countries- and how it might affect our nation.

One of the lessons we can learn from the attack on Pearl Harbor is to ALWAYS BE PREPARED for anything.  Everyone on Oahu on the 7th of December, 1941 thought that it was just another normal Sunday morning, and they were not expecting the attack. Nevertheless, whether they were prepared or not, the attack came, and I do not believe that every citizen was prepared for disaster. Therefore, we can learn from this attack that it is important to ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP supply (food, tent for shelter, water, flashlight for light, etc) in case of natural disasters or other disasters. Otherwise,  disaster could be even more disastrous.

In addition, I agree with Connor's comment. Our country should have been more aware of the rise of Hitler in Germany, and how disastrous it would be if a person like him got into a position of power. However, despite the U.S. knowing about Hitler somewhat, we decided to ignore the activities of other countries, which was our BIGGEST MISTAKE. Because of this, we were not prepared for World War II, which was, by far, the most horrible and destructive war in history.

I was very astonished at how many tragic stories the Pearl Harbor survivors have; many people that they knew died, and there was almost nothing they could do about it. If I ever met a survivor, I would ask them what they would have done differently that day, if they had been aware of what was to come? How does your experience at Pearl Harbor affect your life today?

I live in Hawaii and on Oahu so I was able to go to pearl harbor and see planes and ships out of service at the museum.

I was very shocked when I heard about the Pearl Harbor Attack.If I could speack with the veterans  today I would ask, Did you think you would live through the attack.And what they thought what was happening.

The reaction I had was full of awe and wonder at these stories, because it gave me a different perspective on how things went. I did speak with a veteran and the only question that I asked was "how much people were trying to help with the fire?

When we see what and how this happen we learned a lesson not to cut off japans oil supply.

We had learned a lesson that Wise nations should always be prepared for war. If we aren't prepared for a war even though times are good, we are unwise

Since I live on the island of Oahu, I've had the opportunity to see Pearl Harbor firsthand. I was able to see the remnants of the Pearl Harbor attack still there. I was able to touch the half-submerged, rusted USS Arizona. I could see models in a museum of both American and Japanese planes. I was able to walk on battleships, no longer in service, that had survived the attack. Seeing all these fragments of the past reminds me of how America has gotten to its status today, and how much suffering and war other people have gone through for their country.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was immensely important, because it sparked United States involvement in the Second World War. Up until the attack, the United States was not heavily involved in the war, only helping other countries in Europe on the sidelines. The attack on Pearl Harbor, and all the innocent lives lost in a devastating inferno, is what really caused the U.S. to go into a full-out war with Japan and the other Axis powers. If Pearl Harbor had not happened, and the United States had entered the war any later or even not at all, who knows how many more people and their countries would have succumbed to the Axis powers and Hitler's regime.

The attack on pearl harbor taught us a lesson on always being aware and alert at all times.

In result of living on Oahu, the place where the bombing took place, I was able to visit the Pearl Harbor Museum, walk on historical battleships, and visit the USS Arizona. I also read experiences, and saw artifacts that helped paint the story of the tragic event.

Seeing or hearing these different stories from different people that have experienced December 7 . I'm very shocked and if I met one of these people I would ask How did this day impact you?

One thing that this event has taught me is that be aware or be observant of the world around you because you never know when something big like this will happen. Not in minutes, but seconds.

# data[].attributes.body
When Japan planes bombed Pearl Harbor its a sign around the globe to be more observant on your enemies and be cautious
