Pearl Harbor Day 2018: VFW National Commander B.J. Lawrence and VFW Auxiliary National President Sandi Kriebel joined hundreds of veterans, active-duty military, their families and supporters at the Pearl Harbor Visitors Center to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the attack. During the ceremony, they presented a VFW wreath in memory of the 2,403 military service members and civilians who were killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, and took a moment to reflect on this year’s commemorative theme, “Forging the Future,” which pays tribute to President Roosevelt’s famous 1943 “Unconquerable Spirit” speech.
