Pearl Harbor

New Memorial dedicated today on Ford Island..USS OKLAHOMA Memorial.

Here's a Link to a survivor telling how he got out of the Oklahoma as it was hit:

Video - The Honolulu Advertiser

Two things that I find very humbling:

1.) Talking to a Pearl Harbor Survivor
2.) Talking to a Marine who lived through Iwo Jima

Nothing in my life seems bad to me after that.

God Bless em all

Thumbs up

Bow your heads in silence for a minute and say a prayer for the lost souls.....soldiers who've made us proud to be AMERICANS!

I was thinking about them all today. There are very few things I really want to do in this life before it's over but the Missouri memorial is one thing I need to see. My dad was moved by very few things in life but he said that there is one place you just can't help it.
