Flags to be flown at half-staff Monday, Dec. 7

[Gerianne Downs]

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo directed that flags on state government buildings
be flown at half-staff Monday, Dec. 7, in observation of the anniversary of
the attack on Pearl Harbor. During the attack, more than 2,400 Americans
were killed, including 40 New Yorkers.



"Seventy-nine years ago, more than 2,400 brave souls were tragically lost
during the attack on Pearl Harbor,” Cuomo said. “We must never forget that
day and how it forever altered our nation's history. New Yorkers are
eternally grateful to the men and women of our Armed Forces who have
committed their lives to defending our nation, and as we thank them for all
they do to keep us safe, we must also honor the sacrifice of those we have
lost by upholding the ideals our nation was founded upon.



"While this date continues to live in infamy, it should also remind us how
a galvanized nation can come together as one to fight to protect our
democracy. During these times of crisis, division and adversity, let us
reflect on how much we can overcome when we are united, and work together
to help forge a better future for all Americans."
