RE: Flags at Half-Staff in Honor of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

 On December 7, 1941, over two thousand American soldiers, marines, sailors, and civilians were killed and over one thousand were injured in the Japanese attack on Naval Station Pearl Harbor. We remember the lives lost on that grave day and honor the brave veterans of World War II who fought for our great Nation and ultimately prevailed.

As a mark of respect, I signed the attached Proclamation directing the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout the State of Florida from sunrise to sunset on Saturday, December 7, 2024.
