PEARL HARBOR REMEMBERED

DECEMBER 7TH MARKS THE 71ST ANNIVERSARY OF THE JAPANESE ATTACK ON THE U.S. NAVAL BASE AT PEARL HARBOR IN HAWAII.

NEARLY 2400 AMERICANS DIED IN THE ATTACK, AND THOSE VICTIMS WERE REMEMBERED LOCALLY IN A CEREMONY NEAR THE MORNINGSIDE BRANCH LIBRARY BY THE AMERICAN LEGION.

KENT KNUDSON OF MORNINGSIDE POST 697 DREW A PARALLEL BETWEEN THAT ATTACK AND THE TERRORIST ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH:



THE LEGION CONDUCTED A RIFLE SALUTE AND PLAYED TAPS IN MEMORY OF THE ATTACK VICTIMS. FLAGS ARE AT HALF STAFF ACROSS THE NATION TO HONOR THE WAR DEAD.
