82nd Commemoration - National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Ceremony
Tumblr media
The attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, marked a pivotal moment in world history. Our nation joined the free people of the world in battle against the forces of tyranny that sought to enslave the masses and impose a new world order of blind hatred and oppression.
Tumblr media
The long struggle that ensued came to a merciful end on September 2, 1945. As the guns went silent the world awoke to a new reality. The destructive potential of nations at arms had been realized on a scale never before seen and left our world scarred and broken. In the fall of 1945, the bitter and costly work of war was over, and now the hard work of peace had begun; a peace that could only be realized if former foes could become allies and the price of war too costly.
The wreckage of the USS Arizona remains as a monument to the events of World War II and to the legacy of those who sacrificed their lives to preserve our most cherished values and secure victory. The sculpture of the Tree of Life, chiseled in the side of the USS Arizona Memorial reminds us that the ultimate prize of victory was not just the cessation of arms, but an expression of hope for the realization of a lasting peace.  
In 1941, our nation “Remembered Pearl Harbor” in order to defeat a determined foe. Now we remember to embrace, not just the victory of arms but the promise of a renewed commitment to that hope, that our generation, and the generations to follow will always honor the sacrifice of our veterans by tirelessly striving to maintain and cherish the legacy of hope.

Let's do a minor oc I don't talk about too much
Meet Noah Walters
He went to high school with Claire and is the same age as her. He is Claire's first love. However, they never dated. She's been in love with him since their freshman year. To put it simply she loved him from afar and in silence. It's very possible he felt the same way, but she never found out for sure. It didn't help that they were both quiet and introverted at school. The last time she saw him was the day of their graduation. Claire refers to him as "the one that got away". Most of her regrets revolve around never talking to him more and making her feelings known to him. He joins the Navy right before Pearl Harbor and was on the USS Oklahoma. Thankfully, he made it off the ship with only minor injuries and was soon back on the front lines, participating in The Battle of Midway. The highest rank he earns is Petty Officer First Class. He is also a Machinist's Mate, meaning that he operates and maintains the ship's machinery. He is very smart and has received offers from the higher-ups to work in intelligence, but denied them (mechanics is really his thing). He will be mentioned quite a lot and might make an appearance or two.
