Remembering Pearl Harbor

Posted by Tim Scott
Dec 7, 2012 Issues: Veterans Affairs

Today we remember the 2,402 American servicemembers who lost their lives on December 7, 1941. 71 years later, their sacrifice lives on, and we are eternally grateful.

I also want to thank all of those men and women of the Greatest Generation, who liberated Europe and Southeast Asia, and carried the future of the world on their backs. Earlier this year, we honored the First District's World War Two veterans at the North Charleston Convention Center, and it was a day I will never forget. They are true heroes, and we will never forget them.
