Darlene, I was was on holiday in Hawaii in September 2007, and visited 'Pearl' . It really is an awesome place, it is hard to imagine the horror and suffering that took place here. Moose.
The thing that hit me most on 9/11 was: this must have been the rage, horror and confusion that my parents felt on 12/7.
ohh Moose, I wish I were at Pearl right now....Its rainy and damp here in Ct and my friend Arther Itis is barking. An afternoon in the sun with a drink would feel really good.
In the many things I've seen about Pearl Harbor on television, I think the thing that most amazed me was that when they couldnt raise The Arizona, they cut off anything left above the waterline. The portion that was cut off is stored somewhere on Hawaii. The reverence for that ship was such that during metal drives, they did not collect those large pieces of metal for re use....
