Please join on us to honor our Veterans and commemorate the 75th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor at two special events this Wednesday. There will be a special ceremony at 10:51 a.m. conducted by the USS Nevada Memorial, Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison and Carson City Mayor Robert Crowell to honor and acknowledge the contributions of the USS Nevada and her crew, raise the American flag, and solemnly read off the names of the 76 crewman who perished during Pearl Harbor. The ceremony will be held at the Capitol Grounds in Carson City, at the USS Nevada Memorial.
This event, which is open to the public and free to attend, will be held on December 7th, 2016, at 10:51 AM. The location is the USS Nevada Memorial at the Capitol Grounds, 101 N Carson St, Carson City, NV 89701. Please be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes early.

The Nevada State Museum, 600 North Carson Street, Carson City, will open its doors to the public, free of charge on Wednesday, December 7, 2016 as part of the Pearl Harbor remembrance.
At 1:00pm, the museum invites the public to gather in the South Gallery to view a very special exhibit of objects from the USS Nevada, BB-36 including several items from the ship, some of which show damage from the attack on the ship on December 7, 1941.
At about 1:30pm, noted Nevada historian Judge Chuck Weller will give a program on the significance of Pearl Harbor to Nevadans.
