National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, also referred to as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day or Pearl Harbor Day, is observed annually in the United States on December 7, to remember and honor the 2,403 Americans who were killed in the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941, which led to the United States declaring war on Japan the next day and thus entering World War II.
In 1994, the United States Congress, by Pub.L. 103–308, 108 Stat. 1169, designated December 7 of each year as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. The joint resolution was signed by President Bill Clinton on August 23, 1994. It became 36 U.S.C. § 129 (Patriotic and National Observances and Ceremonies) of the United States Code. On November 29, Clinton issued a proclamation declaring December 7, 1994, the first National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
On Pearl Harbor Day, the American flag should be flown at half-staff until sunset to honor those who died as a result of the attack on U.S. military forces in Hawaii. Pearl Harbor Day is not a federal holiday – government offices, schools, and businesses do not close. Some organizations may hold special events in memory of those killed or injured at Pearl Harbor.

Hey brothers just wanted to send out an update and also see if we could get some assistance from any of the surrounding chapters to help out Lifeline and his extension GG. Lifeline has been up and down with his progress and according to the VA has not made “enough” progress to remain in the facility that he is currently in, therefore he will be non-voluntarily discharged from the facility on December 16th as the VA will no longer cover the in patient care treatment. With that being said there is a lot of preparation that needs done at his residence to make it a safe and comfortable environment for him to be in. Us at the Lamar County chapter along with the local VFW Riders will be holding a work day at his house (31 Calvin Dr. Thomaston GA) on 10 December 2023 at 1100hrs. Anyone who would like to come and help with the moving of furniture, minor construction and cleaning work will be greatly appreciated.
If anyone would like to be able to help in other ways the family has also stated that board games or games to help him with his cognitive function would be much appreciated as well.
