Any one besides me around that day? Where were you when Japs attacked? I was on the operating table at Rhode Island Hospital having my appendix out! :roll:
Born in 1953. But years ago I had the opportunity to discuss that day in detail with a friend of my father's who was on the Arizona.
Had the opportunity and privilege to take the wife and kids to visit the Arizona Memorial while traveling a few years ago.....very moving. An extraordinary monument.....while we were there, one of the crew members - recently deceased - had his family and the Navy bury his remains in an official ceremony with his fallen shipmates.....not a dry eye in the house.
