    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!

    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.
