“A date which will live in infamy” Flag wave
December 7, 2022 @ 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
We will meet on the 11th St. Bridge in Hudson, WI to wave flags. We will reminder drivers of what FDR said:
“Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese military launched a surprise attack on the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Since early 1941 the U.S. had been supplying Great Britain in its fight against the Nazis. It had also been pressuring Japan to halt its military expansion in Asia and the Pacific.
A total of 2,390 American service members and civilians were killed at Pearl Harbor due to the attack on Dec. 7, 1941. Of the 2,341 service members that died on Dec. 7, 1941, almost half died on the USS Arizona, a total of 1,177.
Looking forward to seeing you on the bridge,
Matt Bocklund
Party Chairman
