Pearl Harbor Attack Still Lives In Infamy: NAVC Commemorates 81st Anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day

On Wednesday, December 7th at 11:55 A.M., members of the Norwich Area Veterans
Council will assemble at the Freedom Plaza at Norwich City Hall for their annual
commemoration of Pearl Harbor Day. The remembrance will be held, rain or shine, and
it is open to the public.

Two Norwich residents were killed in action aboard the USS Arizona:
SK3 Harry Carlson & Seaman 1st Class Michael Quarto;
and members of their respective families will be in attendance.

U.S. Navy veteran and Norwich Area Veterans Council past-President John Waggoner
will serve as the master of ceremonies, recounting the events of the surprise attacks of
December 7, 1941. Norwich Mayor Peter Nystrom will greet the attendees and Navy
personnel from the sub-base in Groton.

The invocation and benediction will be given by members of the NAVC, and USMC
veteran and NAVC member Tom Callinan will perform The National Anthem and
"Remember Pearl Harbor", a song composed by Don Reid and Sammy Kaye – 10 days
after war broke out in 1941. He will also play TAPS on pennywhistle.

For further information, contact NAVC Past-President John Waggoner: (860) 608-0472
or johnewaggoner@yahoo.com
