"A Day That Will Live In Infamy!"

I've been to the memorial and you're right; it's an extremely moving experience. Sends a chill up your spine when you think about what happened there. The Punchbowl National Cemetary of the Pacific is also on the list of must visit places when you go there. I also had the opportunity to tour The Air Base when I was there as my brother was stationed there at the time of my visit. Many of the building that are used on a daily basis are still riddled with bullet holes. They were left that way as a reminder of what happened.
Very chilling and moving when you think about all the lives that were lost in such a short time span.
Max. Definately try to visit before you leave.

I understand that oil still leaks up from the Arizona? Many men are forever entombed in her hull Max....not sure if you knew that? Over 1000 I believe still entombed below and on the active duty list I believe?

Ya I think I remember hearing something like that during history class. It is very sad and I have so much respect for the people that were defending our country at the time and lost their lives. I wish I could get to the memorial and if I have some free time to do so I'm gunna try.
