Finally made it to the USS Missouri and the Arizona Memorial this past summer as a bucket list item. Still a very somber place to be all these years later. So many sailors entombed inside. RIP

John, you were right here this summer?!? Did I know this? Were you avoiding me? (I honestly wouldn't blame you)

I was fortunate to be able to attend the Blackened Canteen ceremony on the AZ Memorial this year on December 6th, but we had events going on at the Museum on the 7th, so couldn't make it to the park for the ceremonies there that morning (though the flyover is always chilling). There was no Navy pass and review this year due to the tides, but it was still a very somber and reflective morning.

Thanks for posting, Doc.

I was! Never even knew you and John were there at that time. I remember thinking “Doh!” When I realized O&C lived there, but thought he was the only member on the island. Was staying right next to K-Bay to boot!

Where do you live near in Oahu Nick?

Pearl City. I can (almost) literally see my house across the harbor from the museum on Ford Island where I work.
