More than 200 veterans spent a day at sea aboard the USS Mclnerney (FFG 8) on Dec. 7 in remembrance of those who lost their lives during the 1941 attack at Pearl Harbor.
Sponsored by the Mayport Fleet Reserve Association Branch 290, this annual commemorative service has been a Mayport tradition since 1966. Guests from various veterans' organizations, including Pearl Harbor survivors attended this year's observance.
Ceremonies included a memorial service, wreath laying and burial at sea.
