CHICAGO, Ill. (WTVO) — A bugler performed taps at Chicago’s Navy Pier at 7:55 a.m. Tuesday, the exact time the attack on Pearl Harbor began.

Navy Pier became a training center for about 60,000 service members during World War II.

In attendance was 96-year-old World War II Navy Veteran Carl Lituri. He was present the day the Japanese signed the documents of surrender.
