The Joint Veterans organization, local veterans, religious leaders, residents and City Manager Charles Theofan joined together in remembering when Pearl Harbor was attacked on Dec. 7, 1941. Following the commemoration, held on Monday at Veterans Park at Magnolia Boulevard on the bay, newly engraved bricks honoring local veterans were placed in the Veterans Walk of Honor. In remembrance of the American servicemen killed that day, Omar Karom, Cmdr. AMVETS, left, and John Zimmerman, VFW and JVO commander, prepare to place wreath in Reynolds Channel.
