The City of Lincoln will hold a Pearl Harbor Remembrance ceremony on Thursday at Auld Pavilion in Antelope Park located at 1650 Memorial Drive. The Veterans Memorial Garden Advisory Council event will begin at 11:55 a.m. to coincide with the time of the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941.
Parking will be available on the north side of the Auld Pavilion. The event will feature Peg Murphy with the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors. Murphy will talk about her father, Edward Guthrie, who served on the USS Whitney.
Presentation of the Colors will be conducted by the Girl Scouts Spirit of Nebraska Honor Guard. The Southwood Lutheran Men’s Quartet and Parker Averill will be the featured musicians. Pearl Harbor memorabilia, provided by Jason Graf, will also be displayed.
Graf’s grandfather served on the USS Effingham at Pearl Harbor shortly after the December 7 attack. Graf, who served in both the US Army and Army Guard, has spent years collecting and preserving items connected to Pearl Harbor.
