"When I went to Hawaii last year, I visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial. I was struck by the solemness of the displays and pictori
als. Four battleships and two destroyers were sunk, many more were badly damaged, and there were more than 2000 casualties. It really made me consider the horror of war and how it must have felt to be there on December 7, 1941, when it was all happening."

The listed facts should include the number of ships sunk, the number of casualties, and the date of the Pearl Harbor attack.
