Remember tomorrow is Pearl Harbor day.
78 years ago on 7 December we lost over 2300 Americans and our nation was plunged into WW2.
To some this is becoming a distant memory. I doubt that it is even taught anymore in schools.
And if it is mentioned I am sure that the revisionist have blamed us for the attack.
Take time to remember this national tragedy and pray for the lost.
I will always remember the Arizona.
I have never been to the new and beautiful memorial to the AZ. Photos and videos of the Memorial make it seen praiseworthy. I did have the occasion to be in Pearl Harbor for a few days during my time in the Corps. Looking out over where the AZ rested was a might experience. To realize that there were the sacred remains of warriors who were set upon and never given a chance to fight back. I remember feeling sad and proud of those men. May their resting place never be disturbed for eternity.
Of all my trips to Hawaii my greatest regret is I never visited the Arizona Memorial but every time we came in from the south for landing you could see the Memorial.
I think it is a good thing for him to be reunited with his shipmates.
Family and friends often move away from our gravesites.
Those sailors have visitors honoring them everyday
When I have the good fortune to spend time with those of The Greatest Generation, I am moved to ask what they were doing when they learned of the attack on Pearl Harbor. I have yet to hear someone say they don't recall.
