In November, after I submitted the article, “Post 603 postpones 80th Anniversary Commemoration of Pearl Harbor Day” (page 16 of December 2021 issue), I got bombarded by many Veterans to NOT cancel the event. Thanks to many volunteers, we were able to pull off a memorable event on Dec. 7. Our guest speakers included the Consul General of Japan Hiroshi Kawamura, Vallejo Mayor Robert McConnell, and fellow Legionnaires District 5 Vice-Commander E. Paul Ball, District 5 Chaplain Paul Del Rosario, and Post 603 member Luther Hendricks.
