LAKEPORT – The public is invited to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor to be held Friday, Dec. 7, from 9 to 9:30 a.m. at the Pearl Harbor Memorial Mast in Library Park in Lakeport. Honored guest sweethearts Alice Darrow and Charlotte Bower, whose husbands were Pearl Harbor survivors, will be attending. Darrow, a Navy nurse during WWII, took care of Dean Darrow who had a bullet in his heart, and Bower became the wife of Pearl Harbor survivor Chuck Bower. Please check out our survivors’ 2010 trip to the USS Arizona, found on YouTube at: Pearl Harbor survivor remembrances 4 5 6.. It tells the stories of some of our Lake County Survivors at the 69th Anniversary convention at Pearl Harbor.
The engraved Lake County Memorial Pearl Harbor survivors’ bell will be tolled with all our survivors’ names being read. The Lake County Military Funeral Honors Team will play taps and fire a salvo as our flag is lowered to half staff in memory of those who served at the Dec. 7 attack. Join us in honoring these men who have served our country.
