Never forget.
That’s what American’s promised after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. And in keeping with that promise, the Long Island Air Force Association honors Pearl Harbor Survivors by dropping roses by the Statue of Liberty. One for each year since December 7, 1941 and a white one for Sept. 11, 2001.
