[QUOTE="scratch, post: 143769, member: 1674"] If you ever go to Hawaii, you should visit the USS Arizona Memorial which was built over what is now the sunken tomb of over a thousand American sailors. To this day, sixty-five years later, drops of fuel oil still bubble up to the surface of the water. At one end of that Memorial, there is a wall with all their names listed. To the left of that wall, is a newer list of the survivors of the attack that when they die, they have their remains put in the battleship's hull so they can rejoin their fallen shipmates. This is a hallowed place and makes one think. I was thinking about this today as I was going to my brother-in -laws funeral. There is a stretch of highway above Columbus Ga. where Fort Benning is thats called the Pearl Harbor Memorial Highway. He was my age, only 48, and was a retired Army SFC. He had a military funeral, the 21 gun salute and taps was very moving. God bless all our troops. [/QUOTE]
