Hundreds Attend Pearl Harbor Memorial Service Aboard Yorktown

Date

More than 400 people attended the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum Pearl Harbor Day Memorial Service on Friday, Dec. 7  aboard the USS Yorktown.  The service, organized together with Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 10624, included a wreath laying, tolling of a bell and a traditional gun salute.  Col. Gregory Kitchens, USMCR (Ret.) was the featured speaker.  Col. Kitchens, a 1984 graduate of The Citadel, is a recipient of the Justice Chambers Award for Leadership.  He retired in 2016 after nearly 37 years of service.

This year, 97 wreaths were cast off of the USS Yorktown in remembrance of some 2,400 hundred U.S. personnel that were killed during the surprise attack.

 

The Japanese used more than 350 aircraft during the hour-and-15-minute attack on Pearl Harbor.  In total, more than 300 U.S. aircraft and 19 Navy ships were destroyed or damaged, including eight battleships.
