Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Ceremony

The Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, Fort Snelling National Cemetery Memorial Rifle Squad and Minnesota Department of Veteran Affairs are hosting the 74th Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day program. This event is to acknowledge “December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy,” and honor those who perished on that day, but also remember those that live on to tell the history of that fateful day. Survivor of Pearl Harbor Richard Thill, will be the guest speaker for the event. Governor Dayton will be in attendance and share remarks. New to the ceremony this year is the Kerkhoven – Murdock – Sunburg (KMS) Marching Saints Band. This elite group has been selected to represent Minnesota and perform in a mass band at the 75th Anniversary commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii in December 2016.
