    Pearl Harbor, which launched us into World War II and on the path to becoming a world power.

    The most significant in my opinion would be the “shot heard round the world”, in that it signaled the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

    Either the “shot heard round the world” because the trek from Concord back to Lexington showed the British that holding onto control of the Colonies would not be an easy task. Or the Valley Forge winter where Washingtons rebels were transformed into the soldiers that would deliver victory and our independence.
