Milford to Honor Pearl Harbor Anniversary with Ceremony on the Green
84th anniversary remembrance set for Saturday morning at World War II Monument
MILFORD — The city will mark the 84th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor with a remembrance ceremony on Saturday, December 7, 2025, at 9 a.m. at the World War II Monument on the Milford Green.
The event pays tribute to the 2,403 service members and civilians who lost their lives during the Japanese attack on the U.S. naval base in Hawaii on December 7, 1941 — a surprise military strike that brought the United States into World War II and remains one of the most significant events in American history.
A Fitting Location
The ceremony will take place at the WW2 Monument, which honors the service and sacrifice of Milford's Greatest Generation. The Milford Green, located in the heart of downtown, has long served as a gathering place for the community during important civic occasions and memorial events.
Preserving Their Memory
Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is observed annually on December 7 to honor those who died in the attack and to recognize the veterans who served during World War II.
As the number of Pearl Harbor survivors continues to decline — with most now in their late 90s or beyond — communities across the nation hold ceremonies to ensure their stories and sacrifices are never forgotten.
