God help us, if what you say is true.Working at a museum on Ford Island, December 7th is probably our most active time of year. I didn't really make it on here to commemorate yesterday, so thank you, Doc, for posting this. This was the first anniversary with no Arizona survivors in attendance. It has been 77 years, and we have to work every day to make sure that future generations understand the magnitude of what happened that day. I'm amazed and saddened by how many people RIGHT HERE do not even know the history of the place.
I was lucky enough to be able to see it when I was 14. It was so great to go and learn all about the history, but also so sad. At the time you could see oil in the water that was still slowly leaking out, at least that’s what I was told. Also at the time, there were still the bones from the crew down below which I think some or all have been removed now?
