Pearl Harbor Day Remembrance

Release Date: December 07, 2017

 

 

Pearl Harbor Day Ceremony

12/7/17

 

          Seventy six years ago today Japanese fighter planes attacked the United States Naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, destroying much of our Pacific Fleet and killing more than 2,400 Americans.

          “This day shall live in infamy” proclaimed President Franklin D. Roosevelt after the attack.  A Congressional law named this tragic day in 1941 a “National Remembrance Day.”

          This is what we do every year in the Town of Cortlandt with our Villages of Croton-on Hudson and Buchanan.  We will never forget those brave men and women who sacrificed so dearly seventy six years ago in order that we could have our freedoms today in our great Country.

                                    God Bless America.
