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
2:15 PM Collation at Natick VFW, Post #1274
