VFW Commemorates National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - On Dec. 7, National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) joins a grateful nation as we mark the 84th anniversary of the unprovoked ambush that tragically claimed the lives of 2,403 American service members and civilians. That day remains the starkest reminder of the sudden, devastating price of freedom.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor did more than just inflict damage. It forged a powerful sense of national unity as a generation of patriots rose to form the "Greatest Generation." These men and women committed wholly to protecting democracy against global tyranny.
Today, the VFW is dedicated to ensuring the legacy of every man and woman who served - from the wreckage of Battleship Row to the front lines across the globe - is preserved and never forgotten. On this National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, the more than 1.3 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliary ask every American to take a moment to remember and be inspired by all who have served and sacrificed.
