I was not at the remembering age, but it is one event that will be forever in my memories because of talks with my uncles. May God Bless each and everyone that stills survives that horrible day in our Countrys' history.

I was on board the Nimitz when we visited Hawaii in 1987, and we sailed past the Arizona memorial. Very profound experience.
My father-in-law was on a ship in the pacific, and he has a picture of a Kamakaze trying to dive into a ship. It missed according to him. One of his buddies stationed on an AA gun took the photo (from a distance), and later got it developed and gave copies to everyone. I had heard all of my grandfather's and uncles stories, but that picture really shook me, and finally helped me to make those stories real.
Pearl Harbor will never be forgotten.
