LETTER: This Friday, remember the infamy of Pearl Harbor and its victims

To Ozaukee Press:

Dec. 7, 1941, the date of the attack on Pearl Harbor, is a day that remains in infamy.  

Very few service members who personally remember that day are still among us.  The American Legion Auxiliary encourages everyone to do what they can to keep Pearl Harbor a part of our national consciousness.

Many brave American sailors, soldiers, Marines and airmen were asleep or going about their morning routines when the Japanese bombers delivered the surprise attack that would lead to America’s involvement in World War II.  More than 2,400 service members died during the attack.

The members of the Saukville American Legion Auxiliary, as part of the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization, invite everyone to take a moment to remember the men and women who lost their lives on that fateful day.
