Maybe it wasn't right to send all Japanese Americans to camps, but U.S. officials didn't see much of an option. Another Effect is that U.S. finally decided to enter WWII when before they tried to stay neutral. Overall the Japanese sank or severely damaged 18 ships, including the 8 battleships, three light cruisers, and three destroyers. On the airfields the Japanese destroyed 161 American planes (Army 74, Navy 87) and seriously damaged 102 (Army 71, Navy
Veterans’ Day lorena martinez Thank you to all the soldiers out there who are fighting for our freedom. We dedicate this day, Veterans Day, to every single soldier who dedicated their lives so we could be where we are now. I am always and will always be grateful for what America has given me. Soldiers have been fighting for freedom for ages now. Two great examples of this would be World War I and World War II.
War in the Pacific When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, they crippled the United States’ Naval forces leaving eight battleships burning in the harbor. Japan thought this maneuver would cripple the U.S.and that America would negotiate a settlement and allow Japan to control all of Asia. Immediately after this event is when America regrouped and waged full-fledged war in the Pacific. Initially U.S troops in the Pacific suffered through many losses in the early months on the Pacific Theater, but they were always able to regroup due to their vast amount of resources. Battle of the Coral Sea & Midway The battle of the Coral Sea was fought in mid-1942.
As I said earlier, the US army was use to heavily powered machinery and gunpowder. The US used the b52, a heavily armed gunship that dropped 8 million tons of explosives on the Vietnamese. Despite Vietcong or southern Vietnamese citizens, both were affect from the bombing. The use of napalm strikes was not necessary, but US used it anyway. The American citizens were completely against the napalm strike bombing because the napalm strikes to the skin, and the injuries were severe.
What is Veterans Day? Veterans Day is held every year on November 11th at Arlington National Cemetery. This ceremony is held to thank and honor everyone who has served in the United States Armed Forces. Also, to remember those who have lost their lives while serving in the Untied States Armed Forces. In November 1919, president Wilson announced November 11 as the first memorial of Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…" Later that same year on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced it Veterans Day, instead of Armistice Day.
Margarita Osmanoff The Battle of Midway The Battle of Midway refers to a sea battle fought near the Central Pacific Island of Midway between the Japanese and the United States. US Pacific Fleet's aircraft carrier striking forces had embarrassed the Japanese Navy in the Doolittle Raid and at the Battle of Coral Sea a few months prior to Midway. While seeking to cut Australia's base out from under them, Japan was ambushed by an American carrier task force that was breaking Japanese operating codes in the Coral Sea. This was the first naval action in history when the surface ships never sighted one another. When the smoke finally cleared, the Americans were more hurt but still won the day because the Japanese turned back.

Their first job was to take out the Howitzers that were targeting the Utah beach. For the next few days they continuously fought until they were called back to England. If Easy Company didn’t do this job; then D-Day would not have succeeded. They also help destroy Hitler’s colossal iron curtain. The iron curtain was an inpenetrateable wall of men and steel that no country could penetrate until the United States joined World War 2.

However, the Battle of Coral Sea is an American victory because Americans stopped the Japanese from doing what they had planned to do, which was to isolate Australia and to attack and take capture of Port Moresby. The most significant loss during the Battle of Coral Sea was the sinking of the USS Lexington, the American carrier, after being hit by thirteen bombs and seven torpedoes.
