Gather in the History Center’s Great Hall for a very moving and patriotic flag ceremony marking the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack.
On December 7, 1941, forces of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service conducted a surprise attack on the United States’ naval base in Hawaii at Pearl Harbor. More than 2,000 people were killed and hundreds of craft were damaged or destroyed. The Japanese intended the action to be preventative, but instead it drew the US into World War II (1939-1945).
Join local veterans and museum visitors to help to unfurl a giant 36-foot American Flag. During the ceremony, participate in the National Anthem and a moment of silence for those who served our country. Then help to ceremoniously fold the flag with the help of fellow visitors.
For more information, call (412) 454-6000.
