Dec. 7 (UPI) -- Monday marks the 79th anniversary of the Japanese attack on the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii, the event most responsible for the U.S. entry into World War II -- but the remembrance ceremony will be virtual this year due to COVID-19.

Officials have decided against the usual in-person event featuring surviving veterans, many of whom are now close to 100 years old. Instead, there will be a live streamed event with no public attendance, beginning at 8 a.m. HST (1 p.m. EST).

It is, therefore, an actual event - not a "virtual" one.

I didn't know it when I attended, but the namesake of my junior high alma mater, Norman Houge, made his bones as a contractor resurrecting the old battle line from the bottom of the harbor. I would've loved knowing this, PH buff that I was.
