WWII Veterans were honored in Coral Springs on the 75th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor.
Vets received a special escort to their seats by the Coral Springs Police and Bill Vasquez, founder of the coalition, dedicated a special 48-star flag, which was the number of states in the union that the men and women served under.
Each veteran received a proclamation from the city handed out by each of the city commissioners.
