Uss Arizona: Attack and Remarks Wednesday

uss arizona: His remarks Wednesday at a ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of the Japanese attack generated a lengthy standing ovation from the crowd, with people whistling and hooting, according to The Chronicle Herald. Thousands gathered for the event, held on a pier across the harbour from where the USS Arizona sank during the 1941 attack. Harry Harris says those who served during the attack on Pearl Harbor never failed to stand for the national anthem. You can bet that the men and women we honour today and those who died that fateful morning 75 years ago never took a knee and never failed to stand whenever they heard our national anthem being played, Harris said to nearly a minute of clapping, whistles and whoops. But today on December 7th it takes on extraordinary significance, as were joined here in this hallowed place by World War II veterans and survivors of the attacks on military bases all across Oahu, including right here at Pearl Harbor. Hearing the words the land of the free and the home of the brave means something special for every American, every day, Harris added. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
