71st Anniversary of Pearl Harbor

Jul 05, 2008

A day of remembrance in honor of the 2,400 Americans who died at Pearl Harbor.

At 7:48 a.m. on December 7, 1941, 353 Japanese fighter planes bombed U.S. air bases across the Hawaiian island of Oahu. At that moment, what in some alternate universe might have been a peaceful Sunday morning, turned into what Franklin Delano Roosevelt called “a day that will live in infamy.”

Today, there was a funeral. People cried. Tissues were crumpled and left on the tables. Flower petals fell to the floor. Now, the cleaning staff is making things tidy for the family who will be here tomorrow.

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to one of our employees. Roger was our "go to guy" for everything whether day or night. We will miss him dearly, especially his great stories and cute eye twinkle. Rest easy, our friend. We love you.https://www4.funeralwebhost.com/crx/obituary/Roger-Head
