The annual commemoration in Hawaii begins at 7:40 a.m. (12:40 p.m. ET ) at the Pearl Harbor visitor center.
About 3,000 guests will witness a rifle salute, wreath presentations and recognition of those who died, according to the National Park Service, which operates the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument. The venue overlooks the USS Arizona memorial.
At 7:55 a.m., the exact moment the attack began, a moment of silence will be observed. A U.S. Navy ship will render honors to the Arizona, followed by an aerial flyover in a "missing man" formation.
The commemoration at the Pearl Harbor visitor center will include a rifle salute and wreath presentations.
