DENVER ~ Denver, CO - On Saturday, December 7, 2024, flags across the United States will be flown at half-staff in honor of the 2,403 service members and civilians who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor 83 years ago. This order was given by Governor Polis at the direction of President Biden.
In a proclamation issued by President Biden, he stated that on National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, it is important to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice on that tragic December morning. He also recognized the bravery of the service members who stood up to defend democracy and fight against fascism during World War II.
As we reflect on the accomplishments of the Greatest Generation, President Biden reminded us that they risked everything for the idea of America and its values. He emphasized that freedom is never guaranteed and must be earned and defended by each generation in the ongoing battle between autocracy and democracy.
The President also highlighted his administration's efforts to care for our service members and veterans, especially those who served during World War II. This includes enrolling all World War II veterans in Veterans Affairs health care services regardless of their length of service or financial status. Additionally, access to benefits has been expanded for those who participated in testing and clean-up activities related to World War II weapons programs.
