Sign memorializes Pearl Harbor day

Marjorie Mulvey's husband, a World War II veteran, made a sign so people will never forget the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

Mulvey, 91, of Jackson Township, said the sign was made by her late husband, World War II veteran Roscoe Mulvey, in remembrance of those who died at Pearl Harbor. The sign is at the intersection that leads to Seneca Valley High School.

The surprise attack by the Japanese on the naval base at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu killed more than 2,400 Americans and brought the United States into World War II.

According to his obituary, Mulvey was an Army staff sergeant and arrived at Normandy 36 days after D-Day, was wounded in France and arrived at Bastogne the day after Christmas during the Battle of the Bulge.

On Jan. 6, 1945, he was given a 37-day furlough and returned to Czechoslovakia, which is where he was when the war ended.“We're not heroes,” he told a group of Seneca Valley students in 2014. “We just did what we were called upon to do.”Mulvey, who often spoke to students and was a part of a program at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum in Pittsburgh, was among veterans who received the Legion of Honor medal with the rank of chevalier in 2010 from France.The American Legion Post 474 in Zelienople maintains the sign.
