USS Arizona


USS Arizona, originally uploaded by Journal Keeper.

We enjoyed the museum and memorial at Pearl Harbor. It's moving to have the boat submerged and still visible. The memorial is a bridge that goes over the submerged boat. The navy takes you out to it by boat. When I saw the ship and the oil still seeping out of it, I thought, "it really happened. " Everyone standing there knew it happened. People can say that the Holocaust never happened, or that the cruxcifixion never happened, but when you see the physical evidence--you know--it happened. I wonder if in a hundred years people will say Pearl Harbor never happened.
