It says December 8, 1941. Pearl Harbor was bombed December 7th, 1941.
Japan bombed the US base at Pearl Harbor on December 7th without a formal declaration of war. That is why we refer to it as a 'sneak attack'.
Japan attacked Hawaii when the US was still 'officially' at peace with Japan. Immediately after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese conducted attacks on American Territories in the Philippines, and British Territories in Hong Kong, Malaya.
