December 8, 1941, Menasha Record
Today is Pearl Harbor Day, so let us look to the day after the event 77 years ago. Menasha, of course, like the rest of the country, was on edge, as its finest men were serving in harm's way. Robert Gazecki, mentioned in the article, lost his life at Pearl Harbor and became the second namesake for the local American Legion Post as evidenced in the 1944 news item below. He was on board the USS Arizona. I have left a link at the bottom of this page to take you to the official USS Arizona record. The other Navy men mentioned in the article were more fortunate.
June 2, 1944, Appleton Post-Crescent
