The answer is dishonor.

Infamy refers to something that is famous or remembered for having a bad reputation, a bad or evil quality, for being dishonored, or covered with shame.

The statement refers to the day of the Pearl Harbor Attack (December 7, 1941), the catastrophic event that destroyed several US ships and aircraft, killed 2,400 people and hurt 1,000 Americans in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
