Arizona Memorial

This was a sobering experience..... not many words can cover it... so will
for the most part, let the pictures speak for themselves.

Those who died here on 12-7-40

The list of Marines who also died here.

Bowfin sub

The Missouri

Torpedo

This picture needs words....when we came over on the boat there was a group of choir singers who were in Hawaii for some kind of a competition. We get about 40 minutes to walk thru the Memorial and take pictures. You would be surprised to see so many people and hardly a word

was said... some whispers, but not talking...about 30 minutes into the walk thru... the singers

gathered in the middle, and started to sing. They sang Stars Spangle Banner. There wasn't a

dry eye in the place, and those over 60 were in actual tears... they were not part of the tour, they just happen to be on the same boat with us. At the store I walked up and thanked them,

as others did after I did.

The ship is under this display, and these are above the water. The building is across the middle

of the ship.

I took this picture as we were leaving on the tour boat, it was later when checking the

pictures that night, that I noticed the flag was waving off of the tour boat...
