People are invited to wear Hawaiian shirts and join the tradition of tossing flower petals into the Portneuf River, which was started by a local survivor of the attacks.

“We hope the community will join us as we remember this fateful day. It’s been 83 years, but we have not forgotten the immense impact this day had on American history,” said Bannock County Veteran Services Coordinator Melissa Hartman.
