Pearl Harbor Remembered

  

 

Pearl Harbor CeremonyOn Sunday, our Council joined forces once again with the Fleet Reserve Association to hold the annual Pearl Harbor Rememrance Service at the Mighty 8th Air Force Museum in Pooler.  Our Savannah Sea Cadets served as the color guard, and members of the visiting guided missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60) took part as well.  Normandy's Commanding Officer, CDR Joe Creed, was the featured speaker.
