Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge Lit to Mark 75th Anniversary of Attack

The Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge in New Haven was red, white and blue Wednesday morning to mark the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

On Dec. 7, 1941, more than 2,300 U.S. servicemen, nearly half on the battleship USS Arizona, were killed in the attack and 1,100 injured. After the attack, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered a speech before Congress, calling Dec. 7 a "date which will live in infamy," and the U.S. declared war against Japan.
