USS Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor

I have had the privilege of talking to one of the divers who performs these interments for the families.  The diver I talked to told me this is considered to be the most solemn and sacred duties they do in their service to the US and for our veterans to be able  re-united the former survivor with his shipmates.  I have not attended one of these ceremonies but can only imagine the emotion and feelings involved.







There is a new museum and Visitor Center at Pearl Harbor, if you get the chance, you should spend a day learning and exploring!
