171206-N-AV234-0001 PEARL HARBOR (December 6, 2017) An audience of veterans and spectators from the United States and Japan attend the annual Blackened Canteen ceremony at the USS Arizona Memorial during the 76th commemoration of the attacks on Pearl Harbor. The blackened canteen is a relic of an American air raid over Shizuoka, Japan, in 1945, used to pour bourbon whiskey as an offering to the fallen in the hallowed waters of Pearl Harbor. The 76th commemoration, co-hosted by the U.S. Military, the National Park Service and the State of Hawaii, provided veterans, family members, service members and the community a chance to honor the sacrifices made by those who were present Dec. 7, 1941, as well as throughout the Pacific theater. Since the attacks, the U.S. and Japan have endured more than 70 years of continued peace, a cornerstone of security and prosperity in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. As a Pacific nation, the U.S. is committed to continue its responsibility of protecting the Pacific sea-lanes, advancing international ideals and relationships, well as delivering security, influence, and responsiveness in the region.
