The Pearl Harbor remembrance ceremony began in Hawaii on Sunday with a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., the same time the Japanese bombing began on Dec. 7, 1941.
The annual ceremony marked the 84th anniversary of the attack, which killed more than 2,300 troops and propelled the U.S. into World War II.
“With this commemoration we recognize the importance of remembering the moment in the past when the prospects for peace were shattered and our nation was plunged into global war,” said David Ono, the event’s master of ceremonies.
Survivors of the attack have long been the center of the remembrance ceremony held at the military base’s waterfront, though today only 12 troops are still alive. All centenarians, this year none were able to make the pilgrimage to Hawaii to mark the event. That means no one attending had firsthand memories of serving during the attack.

In his remarks, Ono said the ceremony serves not only as a moment of reflection and gratitude but also as a call to action to build upon the solid foundation built by the Greatest Generation.

About 2,000 survivors attended the 50th anniversary event in 1991. A few dozen have shown in recent decades. Last year, only two made it. That is out of an estimated 87,000 troops stationed on Oahu that day.

Seattle NICU Celebrates Valentine's Day with Their Very Own 'Sweethearts' in Adorable Annual Tradition (Exclusive)

The San Diego State Aztecs are still on the bubble in NCAA Tournament projections, but at least it’s the right side of the bubble in the latest ESPN Bracketology projections.
Bracket expert Joe Lunardi kept the Aztecs (17-6, 11-2 Mountain West) in the Last Four In in his Friday update.
Lunardi still has the Aztecs as the penultimate team into the tournament, at No. 67 in the Field of 68, but has tweaked their assignment a bit. He has them slotted for a First Four date with Missouri, with the winner getting the No. 11 seed in the West Region and a first-round matchup with No. 6 Clemson in Tampa.
Lunardi had dropped the Aztecs out of the bracket altogether a week earlier, before reviving their chances on Tuesday when he brought them back in via the Last Four In.
SDSU had a midweek bye and hasn’t played since an 88-54 win at Air Force on Saturday night.
SDSU, which now trails Utah State by half a game because of the bye, returns to action Saturday night at home against Nevada, seeking a season series victory. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. and the game will air on CBS Sports Network. SDSU won 73-68 at Reno on Jan. 6.
Lunardi continues to project Utah State as the MW’s automatic qualifier. He still has the Aggies as a No. 7 seed but has moved them into the South Region with a projected first-round date with No. 10 Miami in Oklahoma City.
The Mountain West is down to a projected two-bid league after Lunardi dropped New Mexico from the Last Four In to the Last Four Out. New Mexico won 70-64 at Grand Canyon on Wednesday night, but had lost its previous two games, including by 20 points at Utah State.
The Aztecs were the unanimous preseason pick to win the MW regular-season title in their final season in the league before moving into the Pac-12 along with Utah State, Boise State, Fresno State and Colorado State.
The Aztecs remain at No. 42 in the NCAA NET Rankings, which are used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee as the primary sorting tool for selection and seeding for March Madness.
A rough performance in the non-conference portion of the schedule hurt the Aztecs’ resume for an at-large bid, meaning their best bet for getting into March Madness for the sixth straight season is to claim the MW’s automatic bid by winning the conference tournament.

Every day is Galentine’s Day for these Alaska Airlines besties – Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Horizon Air
They met as kids in the late 1980s — Lisa was 5 and Michelle 10 — and grew up as neighbors, family friends and schoolmates. In 2004, by chance, they graduated from subsequent Alaska flight attendant training classes and months later were assigned to the same flight. For years, whenever their schedules overlapped, they worked side by side, catching up in the galley and strengthening a bond that already felt lifelong.
In 2014, over dinner on a New York City layover, one simple question changed everything: “Why don’t we buddy bid?” That moment sparked a 12‑year tradition of bidding for and working on the same trips. Now, if you see Lisa on your Alaska flight, chances are Michelle is nearby.
“Working together feels effortless. We can read each other, anticipate what the other needs and assist each other in difficult situations,” Michelle said. Their chemistry shows in the cabin — fun, intuitive and always in sync. They carpool to the airport, plan their work meals and spend layovers exploring, shopping or catching up with fellow crew friends. They share a love of sports too, with memories of cheering on the Knicks in Manhattan and the Saints during a New Orleans layover.
