Hudson County conducted a Pearl Harbor Remembrance Ceremony on December 7, 2009 at the Owen Grundy Pier in Jersey City in solemn memory of the 2,403 Americans killed when Japan attacked our naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Present at the ceremony were two survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack, Bayonne resident Robert Eakin and Jersey City resident Frank Wasniewski, both in their 90’s. Eakin served in the United States Navy and Wasniewski served in the United States Army with pride and distinction.
