It began when Japanese aircraft appeared in the air over Pearl Harbor,

Hawaii just before 8:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, December 7th, 1941.  When

the attack ceased shortly before 10:00 a.m., less than two hours after it

began, American forces had paid a fearful price.  Eighteen (18) ships were

either damaged or sunk, 180 aircraft were destroyed and 2,403 were dead and

thousands of others wounded.

 

In honor and remembrance of those who served and died at Pearl Harbor,

Shelby County Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 8904 and the Auxiliary

will hold a remembrance program at the Senior Nutrition Center on Loop 500

in Center at 11:00 a m, Thursday, December 7th, 2017.  

 

As always, the public is cordially invited to attend and stay for lunch at

11:30 a.m.  More information contact Post Quartermaster Larry Hume,
