U.S. Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) issued the following statement in recognition of the 72nd anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attacks:

"Seventy-two years ago, enemies launched an unexpected attack that changed the American way of life. They senselessly killed thousands of brave men and women serving their country at Pearl Harbor. Today, we pay tribute to the heroes who died that day and we offer our gratitude to their families."

"Following the attacks, members of our Armed Forces made tremendous sacrifices. They faced dangerous situations in order to protect Americans from harm, and led us to victory. What the Greatest Generation accomplished after those terrible attacks is a vivid reminder of the patriotism that makes this nation exceptional," said Senator Dean Heller.
