Pearl Harbor Day Observance & Memorial for Gerard Barbosa

    Gerard Barbosa, long time honorary member of William Clinton Story Post No.342, died Friday,  September 15^th 2017.  Gerard Barbosa survived Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor that pulled the United States into World War II.  Barbosa  later served during the Normandy  invasion that helped bring the war to a close.  

Barbosa was a 17 year old Gunners Mate on board the Navy cruiser USS Raleigh on Dec. 7, 1941, when the fighter and torpedo planes of the Japanese Imperial Navy filled that Sunday Morning sky bringing death and destruction.
      

Barbosa also served on D-Day, supplying American troops at Normandy’s Omaha Beach as a crew member aboard the LST 157 landing craft, and ferrying German prisoners to England.  

We honor him and remember Pearl Harbor.

Reflections of a World War II POW

Reflections of a World War II POW:

Bernard Rader

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2 P.M.

Come get a glimpse of Bernie's experience as a POW in World War II. On October 1933, as a 19-year-old, Pfc. Bernard Rader was part of a 55-man patrol deployed into Lorrient, Brittany. They were ambushed by the Germans, and after a six-hour battle with machine guns, grenades, and mortars they were forced to surrender.
