The attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 is arguably the single event in the history of the Hawaiian Islands that has had the greatest influence on what Hawaii is today. This act catapulted the United States into war with the Japanese. Many people have also theorized that if it was not for this attack, Hawaii would never have become the 50th state in the union. The mass pilgrimage of members of the "Greatest Generation" has also been considered by many to be the force that created tourism as we know it in Hawaii today. Of all the things to do and see in Hawaii, Pearl Harbor is the most visited place in the state. Today we decided to do a tour of the area. Early in the morning we embarked on what turned out to be the most comprehensive single day tour to Pearl Harbor that I have ever done in my life.
