78 years ago from Saturday, the United States were attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor in what would be a deciding factor in joining World War II.

Saturday morning a ceremony was held at the Doris Miller memorial statue in Waco.

The ceremony honored those who fought that day, and specifically Doris Miller who was awarded the Navy Cross for his heroic action on that day.

On Friday President Donald Trump recognized Miller in his Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day proclamation.

President Trump called Miller’s actions a “remarkable act of bravery.”
