What is Pearl Harbor Day?
Pearl Harbor Day, also known as National Pearl
Harbor Remembrance Day, is an annual observance of the lives lost in the
1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
When Bill Clinton was President, he declared Dec. 7, 1994, as the first National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day for the United States. This is a tremendous respect for the military and families of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives that day.
It is not a federal holiday with paid time off. Though the American flag is flown at half-staff
until the sun sets in honor of those who died as a result of the
surprise attack.
This was a catastrophic day and recently one family, finally had closure on the event. This is an excerpt from an article on CNN.com today:
"The Dorr family had been waiting for Carl to come home from the Navy for 77 years. This week, he finally did.
About
15 relatives on Wednesday walked onto the tarmac of South Carolina's
Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. They watched as a
flag-draped coffin was lowered from the plane into a hearse.
"There
was nothing but dead silence," Carl's 70-year-old nephew, Thomas Dorr,
who lives in St. Johns, Florida, told CNN. "I knew that what I was
experiencing was history."
Carl
David Dorr, one of the 429 sailors and Marines killed on board the USS
Oklahoma when it was sunk in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, will
be laid to rest on Friday -- the attack's anniversary.
