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.
