On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor which inspired many Americans to fight. Many believe that the day the US joined the war was the turning point for the war.

Which is also a key trait to being an American, persevering through hardships no matter what. In the movie, Rocky the main character says, “It’s not about hard you get hit.

Throughout the years, Super Bowl commercials have made the masses laugh, cry, and basically every emotion in between.
