Dr. Thomas Conner, Today we mark the 77th anniversary of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor
Dr. Thomas Conner, Professor of History at Hillsdale College. Today we mark the 77th anniversary of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, and this year's commemoration falls in the shadow of particular loss. In the last weeks, the nation has mourned the deaths of two members of the 'greatest generation:' former President George H.W. Bush and the last survivor of the attack Ray Chavez.
