USS Arizona

The highlight of our trip to Hawaii was seeing the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor. Few events in my life have been more memorable. I will post pictures of it on my Facebook wall.

The oil still leaks from the sunken ship, as if shedding tears for the dead. The USS Missouri is moored facing the USS Arizona, the symbolism being that the Missouri keeps watch over the Arizona.

This December 7 will mark the 70th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. About 14 survivors of the Arizona are still alive. Due to their advanced years, this may be their last reunion.
