Freedom Museum in Manassas to host speakers for Pearl Harbor Day commemoration

On Wednesday, Dec.7, as part of the Freedom Museum’s Pearl Harbor commemoration, LTC Ruth Anderson, USAF, (Ret) and Steve Krawczyk, Pearl Harbor survivor, will speak about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. 

LTC Anderson learned much about the attack while in Hawaii.  Krawczyk will present his experiences as an airman at Hickam Airfield on that fateful day.

LTC Anderson earned her undergraduate and graduate nursing degrees from the Universities of Minnesota and Kansas.  She was a previous Medical Operations Squadron Commander at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, and extensively studied the Dec.7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.  Anderson is the current Supervisor for the Occoquan District on Prince William County’s Board of Supervisors.

Krawczyk has been a member of the Freedom Museum for many years.

The presentation will be from 7:30 to 8:45 p.m. at the Museum, located in the Manassas Airport Terminal, 10600 Harry Parrish Blvd., Manassas, VA 20110.
