I've been to the Arizona Memorial on several occasions. A very somber experience and every time I go there, I can't help but to tear up.
RIP, Jack Holder and a sincere thanks for your service, sir!

Been there and very humbling and inspiring memorial. RIP Jack Holder."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Anger is just anger. It isn’t good. It isn’t bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters.
You can use it to build or to destroy. You just have to make the choice. Jim Butcher

This video is 11yrs old, but even today oil still seeps from the USS Arizona. Pretty amazing after 82 years.

I read that at the rate the oil is seeping, it will take several thousand years to dissipate. Also saw that the tanks are at risk of opening up.The Gear...
