"“…a date which will live in infamy…”

On December 7, 1941, prior to the Imperial Japanese Navy attack on Pearl Harbor, U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Tiger assisting U.S. Navy vessels in the area, potentially detected and warded off a Japanese mini-submarine according to her after action report.

She went on to guard the entrance to Pearl Harbor for the remainder of the day and into the night, and continued to protect ships in and around Honolulu for the remainder of the war.

Twenty-four years ago, our nation changed forever. Here in Cecil County, we stood together—parents, teachers, students, first responders, veterans, and neighbors—united in grief and resolve.

County Executive Adam Streight and County Council issued a proclamation honoring the nearly 3,000 lives lost and all who answered the call of duty. He also ordered the County Administration Building light in Red, White, & Blue to commemorate that fateful day and celebrate our patriotism born out of tragedy.

May we never forget, and may God continue to bless Cecil County and the United States of America.
