Pearl Harbor Remembrance Ceremony
Pearl Harbor Remembrance Ceremony
Sunday, December 7, 2008

On December 7, 1941 the Empire of Japan engaged in a sneak attack on the United States at place Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.  This attack was the catalyst for the United States to enter in to World War Two.  It was a defining moment in the history of the United States – and for that matter the world.  It was also a defining moment for those of our Greatest Generation.  As a result of this attack the world became a much different place.

The Town of Natick is one of the few municipalities in the Commonwealth – if not the country- to still hold a ceremony in remembrance of the sacrifices made by those men and women at Pearl Harbor.  The ceremony will be held on Sunday, December 7, 2008 at 1 PM at the Morse Institute Library, 14 East Central Street, Natick.

The schedule for this remembrance ceremony is as follows:

        1:00 PM         Veterans meet at Morse Institute Library
                                        * Firing of weapons and Taps

        1:15 PM         Ceremony inside Morse Institute Library
