The Hill: Dems, GOP come together to honor vets on Pearl Harbor attack anniversary

The Hill - Dems, GOP come together to honor vets on Pearl Harbor attack anniversary

by Filip Timotija - 12/07/24 1:32 PM ET

Democrats and Republicans came together on Saturday to honor surviving veterans and those who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor more than 80 years ago.

“Today, we honor the brave Americans who perished at Pearl Harbor 83 years ago, and the service members who defended democracy and freedom in the days and years that followed,” President Biden wrote on social platform X.

“In their memory, let us carry forward their mission of forging a better future for humankind,” he added.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), in his remembrance post on X, wrote that, “America honors the memory of all those who perished on that tragic day.”

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Commitee, honored the servicemembers and civilians who died during the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on the base in Hawaii.

I guess many hypocrites are fine with having three or four faces. We’ll see how well Johnson honors the military after 20 January.
