In Recognition of Pearl Harbor Day

On this day Elbert County honors 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 then rapidly moved on to build the most capable fighting force the world has ever known.

In the wake of this unprovoked attack, the men and women of the Greatest Generation answered the call to defend freedom across the Pacific, throughout Europe, and around the globe. The day that “will live in infamy” resulted in a spirit of unity and patriotism that carried our nation through the hardships of World War II and catapulted the United States into a position of global leadership that has endured ever since. The attack on Hawaii, in the words of Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, truly “awakened a sleeping giant”.

Elbert County salutes those that gave everything in response to those that wished to harm our nation. We thank them for the legacy they have left us and ask that all take a moment or two to reflect on their sacrifice.
