The Passing of a Generation

Filed under: Current events — Jill Manty @ 7:21 am

Today marks what may well be the last gathering of Pearl Harbor survivors. 7:55 this morning marked the 65th anniversary of the attack that marked the beginning of World War II involvement for the United States. I really hope that there will be a 70th anniversary meeting for the men, who gather every 5 years, but most members are in their 80s. I think we all ought to take a moment today to remember these men, their sacrifices and a generation that is passing from our midst.
