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.

In a separate post from his personal X account, Biden shared a picture of him and first lady Jill Biden at the World War II Memorial in Washington, pressing for a future “of greater dignity, opportunity, and security for all.”

His comments come a day after he gave remarks honoring those who fought in Pearl Harbor and their families while attending a live performance of PBS’s “The Eyes of the World: From D-Day to VE Day” at the White House — a program telling the dramatic story of the final 11 months of World War II.
