🕯️ On Sunday, we remember — December 7: Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. On this somber anniversary, take a moment to honor the 2,403 Americans who lost their lives that day, and the bravery of those who served.
The generation who witnessed that day is dwindling. While the Department of Veterans Affairs doesn’t track exactly how many Pearl Harbor survivors remain, only about 120,000 of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II were still alive as of recent reports.
In 2024, fewer than two dozen Pearl Harbor survivors attended the ceremony in Hawaii — a stark reminder that this living link to history is fading.
Let us pause, reflect, and pay tribute—not just to the fallen, but to the few still with us, whose courage and sacrifice helped shape our history. 🇺🇸
