The Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg held a Pearl Harbor commemoration on Tuesday — the 80th anniversary of the attack.

Tyler Gum, director of the museum, shared history and reminded those who gathered to show kindness and take care of each other, as tomorrow is not promised.

The military museum is home to guns of the battleship USS Pennsylvania, which was a witness to the attack on Dec. 7, 1941.
