Perch Base
Pearl Harbor Day
Perch Base attended the Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day event on 12/07/2019 at the Wesley Bolin Plaza by the
Arizona State Capitol to place wreaths during the ceremony.
We placed two wreaths. One for the WW2 Submarine Veterans and one for Perch Base.
VIPs in attendance included Official State Historian Marshall Trimble, Arizona Department of Veterans' Services director Wanda Wright,
and Keynote Speaker Captain Ande Bergmann.
