National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day
Take a moment this week and reflect on the more than 2,400, U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Army service members and civilians killed during the unprovoked attack on December 7, 1941, in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
As we pay tribute to individual lives lost 82 years ago. We recognize them for their bravery and selflessness in the wake of perilous horror.
18 of the service members killed during Pearl Harbor were from our great state of Connecticut.

Rollin' with Rep. Nolan with the CT Pardon Team!
I was delighted to be joined by Katie Caldwell of the Connecticut Pardon Team, Inc. to talk about the process of obtaining a pardon. Many people make mistakes when they're young that holds them back for the rest of their lives. By obtaining a pardon, you have more access to housing, job opportunities, and a better life. I hope you'll take a look at this video and learn more about this life-changing organization. |
