Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has ordered flags in the state to be flown at half-staff on Wednesday for National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
Flags will be at half staff from sunrise to sunset. Wednesday is the 81st anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where over 2,400 Americans lost their lives.
The Veterans Memorial Park Board in Wichita was planning a brief ceremony Wednesday morning at 8 at the Pearl Harbor Survivors Memorial. That is located at Veteran’s Memorial Park near 2nd and Waco. The event will include the National Anthem, brief remarks, a three-volley rifle salute by the American Legion Post 4 Honor Guard, and the playing of Taps.
The public is invited to attend.
