Visited Pearl on the 59th anniversary. The Arizona memorial was a very somber experience. Here's a picture of the spot where the eventual surrender was signed on the MIssouri.

It's great that so many people and organizations keep this memory alive.

RIP, heroes. :angel:

Glad there are those who remember, sad how many have forgotten.

And <span style="font-style: italic">they</span> need to THANK the Marshall Plan.

Our industrial infrastructure was already two generations old.

I watched the news tonight,in which they said that the
Pearl Harbor Survivors Assocaiation will shut down.
So many great stories - so many Heros that day.
