Simple.
Pearl Harbor.

On the day the Japanese first struck US, it was a Sunday morning. US, thinking it was too far detached from WWII, all just went to Mass/Service, and celebrated Sabbath... Guess what happened.

4 battleships sunk,
4 battleships damaged including 1 run aground
2 destroyers sunk, 1 damaged
1 other ship sunk, 3 damaged
3 cruisers damaged[2]

188 aircraft destroyed, 155 aircraft damaged,
2,345 military and 57 civilians killed,
1,247 military and 35 civilians wounded.

Cold comfort it may be, but compared to the destruction the US caused in her role as the Destructive Saviour, these losses are really, really small.
