Flags are flying at hal-staff today in recognition of National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
Gov. Laura Kelly issued an executive order for flags to be flown at half-staff until sunset.
“We will never forget the tragic day of December 7, 1941, when Imperial Japan launched an attack on Pearl Harbor, killing thousands of U.S. personnel and civilians,” Gov. Kelly said in a statement, “That day changed the trajectory of our nation and the world. We are thankful for all the veterans who have given their lives for the cause of freedom.”
