Awesome. He is among friends. When I was there twelve years or so ago, they had among the names, people interned after Pearl Harbor and the guide who was a Pearl Harbor survivor said they will inter people that survived which is pretty cool.

I wonder, soon enough, there won’t be any survivors left as guides, it’s sad.

The movie they showed before the ride to the memorial was so incredible, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

Wife and I toured the Arizona Memorial and later, the BB Missouri two years ago.
The Memorial is just off the bow of the battleship, as if to write the beginning and end of the war.

A small boat took us out from the Pearl Harbor dock to the Memorial and when we got within 100 feet, I got a whiff of Number 6 oil that drifts up, a few drops at a time, from the Arizona’s bunker. The “tears of the Arizona” will keep on leaking to the surface for as long as the wreck is in one big piece. There is talk about what to do to keep the Arizona wreck intact after 71 years of salt water.
