(KAIR)--Sunday is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, held each year on December 7 to mark the anniversary of the attack on the United States.
For the 84th anniversary of what Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, in a release, calls "an immense tragedy that claimed the lives of many courageous service members,” flags throughout the state will be flown at half-staff, from sunup to sundown Sunday. ]
Kelly, in the release, says the anniversary "is a time to reflect on this solemn day, pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and honor the brave men and women who have fought to defend our country and continue to do so now.”
The anniversary of that day 84-years ago, December 7, 1941, will also be recognized through a ceremony Sunday in Atchison.
Arranged by Atchison Area Navy Veterans, the USS Arizona Remembrance Ceremony will be held at 12 noon at Atchison's Veterans Memorial Park.
The public is invited to the ceremony.
