"A date which will live in infamy" - that's how president Franklin D. Roosevelt described the attack on Pearl Harbor 75 years ago Wednesday.

The attack killed more than 2,400 people, and wounded more than 1,000 others. It also led to the US joining World War II.

The infamous day is being remembered across the country with numerous ceremonies and events.

Joining us this afternoon is Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Meg Jones - she recently did a special feature on Pearl Harbor's 75th anniversary and the Wisconsin connections to the attack.
