One year later: December 6th marked as Naval Air Station Pensacola Remembrance Day

December 6th marks the tragic day three sailors were killed in what the FBI has called a terrorist attack at Naval Air Station Pensacola-- one year later, we still remember.

And Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to make sure future generations never forget the sacrifices those sailors and other first responders made in 2019 and their courage shown in the face of "evil."

"One year ago, three great American sailors were killed in an act of terrorism at @NASPCOLA. In their honor, I’ve proclaimed December 6th as Naval Air Station Pensacola Remembrance Day in Florida. We must never forget their selfless sacrifice," the governor wrote on Twitter.

The proclamation comes the day after 19-year-old Naval Aircrewman 3rd Class Mohammed Haitham, 21-year-old Naval Aircrewman 3rd Class Cameron Walters and 23-year-old Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson were posthumously awarded Purple Hearts.
