A detachment of sailors hold 69 American Roses to be blessed and loaded into a WWII-era airplane and eventually dropped over the Statue of Liberty, at 12:55 p.m. to commemorate the exact time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Dec. 7. This is the 20th year of a tradition started by the late Joseph Stanley Hydrusko to honor those he served with at Pearl Harbor. In the attack, 21 ships were sunk or damaged, 188 aircraft were destroyed, and 2,335 service members were killed. America answered with an island-hopping campaign culminating with the iconic Marine Corps flag raising on Iwo Jima more than three years later.
