Pearl Harbor 80th Anniversary remembered locally

Flags will be flown at half-mast Tuesday throughout the country to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the attack at Pearl Harbor.  December 7th, 1941 was a day that would live in infamy and thrust the United States into World War II.  Door County Veterans Officer Beth Wartella, who served five years in the U.S. Navy, says although there are no planned events in Door County on Tuesday, the significance of the date is at the forefront of many active-duty military members.

 

 

The attack at Pearl Harbor by Japan killed 2,403 United States personnel, including 68 civilians, and destroyed or damaged 19 U.S. Naval ships.
