Remembering those who lost their lives on Pearl Harbor Day. Not many survivors left.

I was there a couple weeks ago. The Arizona memorial is incredible.

Saw it when I was active duty, very moving. All gave some and some gave all.

I've lived thru the passing of the last survivors of the Spanish-American war and WWI, and will prolly see the last of the "great ones" pass too. That'll be a sad day for sure...

Was there 10 years ago on are honeymoon and was on the must-do list. Was glad to have been there and hoe to visit again. I seem to be attracted to WW2 historical places.

few additional thoughts....both my father in law and my wifes moms father where there that fateful morning. my father in law was in the army stationed there and my mother in laws dad was a painter and had just gotten off one of the ships that fateful morning. My mother in law has passed down to me a piece of one of the japanese planes from that fateful morning.

The news is wrong (as usual). There are 9 USS Arizona survivors still with us, and probably many more Pearl Harbor survivors still with us.

When I was at the memorial 10 years ago, I remember getting there early because we were warned that it gets busy fast. By the time the doors opened there was already a very long line forming to get in but was lucky enough to get on one of the first boats over to the memorial. Another thing I remember was seeing a Japanese torpedo that was recently(at that time) dredge from the harbor and detonated and recovered to put on display. Thought that was very interesting.
