Statement from the Governor on the 75th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor
“Today, we mark the 75th anniversary of the
attack on Pearl Harbor. In commemoration of the courage and valor shown
by those who answered the call to protect our nation, we acknowledge and
honor the more than 2,400 who made the ultimate sacrifice.
“On this day of infamy we are all reminded
that ‘freedom is not free.’ Yet, it provides us with an opportunity here
in New York to ensure those who have fought and continue to fight for
the values this state and nation were founded upon are treated with the
dignity and respect they deserve. That’s why New York remains committed
to providing full access to quality services and supports for all our
U.S. servicemembers and veterans.
“This day weighs heavy on the hearts of all
Americans. While we can never repay those who gave their lives in
defense of liberty, justice and democracy, we can honor their sacrifice
by working together to ensure the ideals and freedoms we cherish always
ring true.”
