In Part 2 of “The Men and Guns of the Pacific War,” American Rifleman Television continues its in-depth look at “the day that will live in infamy,” the Japanese attack of the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. Field Editor Marty Morgan and the ARTV camera crew are on site at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific where many Medal of Honor recipients are buried.
