Seventy-five years ago a Japanese admiral led the attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor. The surprise attack killed 2,400 Americans on the Hawaiian Island, and drew the United States into World War II in the Pacific.
Today, the mayor of the admiral's hometown is joining his Honolulu counterpart to mark the Pearl Harbor attack's anniversary.
The mayor of Nagaoka, Japan, will lay flowers at the main memorial event and join a smaller ceremony a day later co-organized by Japan and the U.S. for the first time.
