Today we remember Pearl Harbor — December 7, 1941.

We honor the 2,402 Americans killed, the 1,282 wounded, and all who served from The Greatest Generation.
PBFD also pays special tribute to the Honolulu Firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice during the attack:

LODD:
Captain John Carreira
Captain Thomas S. Macy
Hoseman Harry T.L. Pang

Wounded: Lt. Kealoha, Hosemen Kalilikane, Gilman, Naauao, McCabe, and Correa.

These firefighters remain the only civilian members ever awarded the Purple Heart.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸🚒
