Description
On this day members of VFW Aux 5394 and comrades of Post 5394 held a joint remembrance ceremony to honor those who died as a result of the attack on U.S. military forces in Hawaii 82 years ago. I read to the members there the following statement from the White House. """"On National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day we honor the memories of the 2403 service members and civilians whose lives were cut short on that tragic December morning. We reflect on the resilience of America's Armed Forces who withstood the attack and built the most capable fighting force the world has ever known. In the wake of tragedy these brave women and men — the Greatest Generation — answered the call to defend freedom justice and democracy across the Pacific throughout Europe and around the globe. Today we carry forward their spirit of unity and their enduring resolve to protect the United States against those who seek to do us harm."" The ceremony ended with a prpayer from our auxilairy Chaplain.
