National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

Eighty years ago today, America was attacked at Pearl Harbor. It is important for us to remember the event that killed or injured thousands of Americans, got the US into World War II, and shaped history.

The theme for this year’s commemoration ceremony at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial is valor, sacrifice, and peace. I am grateful to every American who has served to keep the peace around the world since that fateful day.

I am also grateful to professionals who work to keep the peace here at home, whether in the National Guard, law enforcement, or private security. Too many of those who serve us in any capacity do it at great personal sacrifice.

If you know someone who works to keep the peace, to keep us safe, take a moment today to let them know how valuable they are, especially during this season when we often pray for peace.

If you are one of these people, Thank You.
