NEW RICHMOND, Ohio — Inside the halls of the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in New Richmond, veterans of all ages gathered Dec. 7.

A date, as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt stated, will live in infamy.

These veterans, their families and community members all gathered for Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. This marks the 84th anniversary of when Japanese forces bombed the U.S. naval base in the early morning hours.
