Pearl Harbor Survivor To Speak At Molino Branch Library On Saturday
November 4, 2016
Francis L. Emond was lined up with his fellow Navy members for morning colors on December 7, 1941, when he watched the ships in front of him sink in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
This Saturday at 1:30 p.m., Emond, 98, will be sharing his memories of the day and answering audience questions in a presentation at the Molino Branch Library. The free event, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, is being planned in conjunction with the Molino Mid-County Historical Society. The University of West Florida Historic Trust will also provide a display of reproductions of WWII uniforms and other memorabilia for the event.

This should be very interesting! If you’ve never been to Pearl Harbor and seen the Arizona Memorial, or been to any of the Pacific Theater countries and visited places like Corregidor and Bataan, then you should make an effort to go at some point in your lifetime. It’s a very humbling experience.
