Pearl Harbor Day 2018

National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

Today is Pearl Harbor Day.

National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, or simply "Pearl Harbor Day" to we Navy brats is an annual observance comemorating the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii which began United States involvement in World War II.

Many service men and women in the military of the United States of America lost their lives or were injured on December 7, 1941 — characterized as a 'Day of Infamy'.

This is also the day my mother chose to inter my late father, MMCM Jim Williamson, Jr who was laid to rest with full military honors at Clinton Methodist Church in Salley, SC on 12/07/2001.
