Today, the Ocean County Board of Commissioners joins the nation in celebrating the 389th birthday of the National Guard, the oldest military organization in the United States, founded on December 13, 1636.

For nearly four centuries, the brave men and women of the National Guard have stood ready to serve both state and nation, answering the call in times of war, natural disasters, and community need. Their unwavering commitment, courage, and sacrifice embody the very best of the American spirit.

To all current and former members of the National Guard: thank you for your service and dedication. Ocean County honors you today and every day.

“A date that shall live in infamy”
- President Franklin D. Roosevelt

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave Americans who faced unimaginable odds during the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago.

On December 7, 1941, in just 90 minutes, the Imperial Japanese Navy devastated our Pacific Fleet based in Hawaii. Despite the losses, their courage united our nation and forged the path to victory in World War II.

May we never forget their sacrifice.
