Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor was the one place that we didn't feel like we got to spend quite enough time. We could have spent an entire day there, but we did get to go through the museum and go to the USS Arizona Memorial. It is such a somber experience, but one that we think everyone should do if they get the opportunity.
USS Arizona where over 1000 of our soldiers still lie
This is part of the ship that sticks out from the water
The wall of names. There were two Wrights and actually a Bandy, which surprised me.
Josh with the USS Missouri in the background. Unfortunately we didn't get to see it. If we ever get back, we want to do this because you can actually walk onto the ship.
Here is a picture of the oil that has dripped from the ship since the day it sank. They say that these are the tears of the Arizona and there is a legend that the oil will cease dripping when the last of the surviving soldiers finally passes.
