If you can`t make it out Friday morning, the O`Fallon Veterans Commission will also hold a Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Ceremony at 7 p.m. at O'Fallons New Krekel Civic Center.

For the first time this year, none of the surviving sailors from the USS Arizona will be able to attend the official remembrance ceremony in Hawaii. Only five are still alive and all in their nineties.

Around 100 World War ll veterans will be in attendance, however, none of them witnessed the Pearl Harbor Attack.

Flags will fly at half-staff until sunset Friday night.

“With Pearl Harbor Day coinciding with this week’s tributes to the late President George H.W. Bush recalling his WWII service, it’s a powerful reminder of the Greatest Generation’s thinning ranks.”- U.S.A. Today pic.twitter.com/wq3RIoREvb — Katherine Hessel (@KHesselFox2) December 7, 2018
