The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, December 11, 1991 3 Legion commemorates Pearl Harbor Day By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff American flags appeared on everything from jacket lapels to the coffee rolls as area veterans observed the 50th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor at a breakfast Saturday, December 7, at the American Legion Daddow- Isaac Post 672 in Dallas. Guest speaker Senator Charles D. Lemmond commented that Pearl Harbor was the end of the age of innocence in America, the end of American thinking that our coun- try could live in total isolation, not having anything to do with the safety of other countries. “This observance is more than a memorial for those who made the supreme sacrifice for their coun- try,” he said. “It is a time to reflect on the lessons that we learned from World War II. The names on the Honor Roll in the center of Dallas and those on countless monuments in other towns across the country remind us of the ter- rible toll exacted by the war. Pearl Harbor will be etched on our minds forever as the symbol of the conse- quences of underestimating threats to world peace and stabil- ity. We can pay no finer tribute to those who served than to insure that the nation that they died for remains free.” Thomas Reese was Master of Ceremonies, while John George led the Pledge of Allegiance. Rev. Andrew Pillarella, Pastor Emeri- tus of Trinity United Presbyterian Church offered the invocation, followed by a welcome from Post Commander Walter I. Galka, who also presented certificates of ap- preciation to Senator Lemmond, Rev. Pillarella and Father Cusick for their assistance. Breakfast committee members included Post Adjutant Tom Reese, Post Commander Walter I. Galka, Service Officer John George, Home Association President Charles Glasser, Senior Vice Commander John Charney, Junior Vice Com- mander Walter Meade and Stuart Oakley.
