Pearl Harbor Day by pookietoo
Remembering Pearl Harbor writing prompt entry

The Americans fire the first shot.
About 4500 marines fought.
The attack lasted just over an hour.
Pres  Roosevelt was the man in power.
 
December 7 will live in infamy.
Number killed - 2043.
Japanese subs - major role to play 
Hurt - more than 1100 that day.
 
Dive bombers band fighters covered the air.
Some bombs damaged two ships beyond repair.
The attack was a big surprise I know.
It all happened 81 years ago.
 
The Japanese attacked on that Sunday
Over 300 planes lost in the fray.
Led to US entering World War II.
Cruisers, battleships, aircraft destroyed too.
