The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Pearl Harbor Remembrance May Be Mainly Virtual This Year

From the November 14, 2020,  The Garden Island, Hawaii. 

On December 7, the National Park Service and U.S. Navy will host the 79th National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day to honor the 2,390 American lives lost that day when it was attacked in 1941. 

The ceremony will begin at 7:50 when a very small number of veterans and speakers  will be at  the Pearl Harbor National Memorial's Contemplation Circle with the keynote speech given by Admiral John Aquilino, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

Most of the ceremony will take place virtually.

A moment of silence will be observed at 7:55, the exact moment of the Japanese attack.
