Wednesday marks 81 years since the attack on Pearl Harbor. A free remembrance ceremony was held in New Jersey to mark the solemn occasion.

The Battleship New Jersey was launched exactly one year after the attacks that killed 2,403 Americans.

Its handlers joined forces with Camden and Gloucester counties to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

A ceremony was held on the battleship's fantail. The event featured live music from Eastern High School's marching band and a memorial wreath.
