Scott's View: Remembering Pearl Harbor 80 Years Later

Scott Higgins, WeSalute Co-founder & Co-CEO

Scott's View

December 7 is the 80th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. For millions of Americans, the world changed that day. 16 million Americans were sent to Europe and the Pacific. They fought with strength and courage unmatched in all of human history. And against great odds, they prevailed.

World War II gave rise to what we famously call “The Greatest Generation,” men who went to war overseas and the women who went to the factories to support the war effort. 

Every time we pause to remember World War II, I’m reminded of how few veterans of that war are still with us. So, when you see a WWII Veteran, be sure to ask them about their service and thank them. Tell them how deeply grateful we are.

Larry Moores etched his name into the annals of valor, culminating in a long-overdue recognition with the Silver Star Medal.

Cover Story: How & Why WeSalute Was Founded 25 Years Ago

 WeSalute founders Scott and Lin Higgins have spent a lifetime in the military community, from Scott’s combat service in Vietnam and the service of Lin’s father in WWII, to serving families and veterans through the creation of memorials and parades as part of charitable and government initiatives. It was this lifetime of service that led them to establish WeSalute, originally founded as Veterans Advantage, and to continue giving back.
