Over a dozen people turned out Saturday morning for a Pearl Harbor Remembrance Ceremony, which took place outside of the old Whitley County Courthouse in Williamsburg.
The ceremony was presented by the Capt. Charles Gatliff Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and the William Whitley Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).
DAR member Carolyn Falin and Regent Diane Chambers placed a wreath in front of the veterans’ monument at the conclusion of the ceremony.
The purpose of the ceremony was to remember and honor the men and women, who suffered and died from the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
The attack killed 2,403 U.S. personnel, including sailors, soldiers and civilians. An additional 1,178 people were wounded.
