Silver Creek VFW Post 6472 Held a Veterans Day observance at the Post to thank those present who attended and to all Veterans who have served past & present who helped preserve the freedoms we all enjoy today. Commander Richard Henry spoke of the many sacrifices the veterans have made to keep this country free. And the need for the younger veterans to think about joining the VFW or American Legion which are both housed at the Silver Creek Overseas Veterans Club. Quarter master Ed Tofani spoke about how Veterans Day was called Armistice Day after WWI and was changed to Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all Veterans not just the WWI veterans and the great sacrifices made by all who served. As I write this WWII vets are almost all gone as well as Korea and Vietnam Vets closing in. Membership is open to all Veterans who served honorably as per qualifications of the National VFW and Legion organizations. We would also like to thank VFW Auxiliary president Deanna Borello and auxiliary members for their serving up the great food A special thank you to Aunt Millies and Toms Family Restaurant of Silver Creek for the donation of desserts.

A Proclamation on National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, 2022

On National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we honor the memories of the 2,403 service members and civilians whose lives were cut short on that tragic December morning. We reflect on the resilience of America’s Armed Forces, who withstood the attack and built the most capable fighting force the world has ever known. In the wake of tragedy, these brave women and men — the Greatest Generation — answered the call to defend freedom, justice, and democracy across the Pacific, throughout Europe, and around the globe. Today, we carry forward their spirit of unity and their enduring resolve to protect the United States against those who seek to do us harm.

This commemoration is also a solemn reminder that our country is capable of achieving great triumphs coming out of dark moments. From the death and destruction at Pearl Harbor came victory over the forces of fascism. Fierce battles with the Axis powers gave way to diplomatic partnerships with strong allies. And from the darkness of World War II came the light of liberty and the establishment of a rules-based international order. Today and every day, we remember that the great and defining truth about our Nation and our people is that there is nothing beyond our capacity — we do not break, we never give in, and we never back down.

The Congress, by Public Law 103-308, as amended, has designated December 7 of each year as “National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.” Today, let us commemorate the patriots who were wounded and who perished on December 7, 1941, and continue to fulfill our sacred obligation to care for our service members and veterans and their families, caregivers, and survivor.
