Pearl Harbor

I had to see Pearl Harbor so booked a tour for the day. There many displays and memorials to remind us of the Japanese bombing on December 7 1941 and the enormous loss of life and America's subsequent action in joining World War II.
This man is a survivor and was happily signing books.
The USS Arizona Memorial is very moving and oil still bubbles up from her submerged hull, the tomb of 1,170 men, plus shipmates who survived and are now having their ashes interned with their mates.
