I posted this on another thread but it certainly deserves its own topic.
All us mariners should take a moment today to remember the sailers (and others) who lost their lives at Pearl 65 years ago today. The survivors, who are fast disappearing, deserve our thoughts as well. They belonged and belong to a generation of heroes. . . .
I was privileged to walk over the decks of the Arizona back in 1981. It was a very somber place. One of my most vivid memories is the group of Japanese tourists I saw crying in a corner. Maybe there is hope for the human race after all.
