President Trump on Thursday signed a proclamation designating National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, and hosted several veterans of the Pearl Harbor attack at the White House to mark the occasion.

One of the military veterans of the Japanese sneak attack on Dec. 7, 1941, that drew the U.S. into World War II described himself as “just a regular grunt in the service.”

Mr. Trump insisted the man was “a hero.”

“A regular grunt, I don’t think so,” said the president. “You’re not a regular anything. You’re a hero. All of you are heroes.”
