I know ya gotta be an old fart to remember this day but I was just wondering who had actually taken the opportunity to go to Pearl Harbor & check out the memorial. I have been there three times and each time it is a humbling experience. I was fortunate enough to meet a few survivors of the attack while I was visiting the memorial and talk with them. I also was present once when some Japanese who were on the other side of the conflict were there to pay their respects...humbling experience - I would recommend it to anyone

I remember...and I'm not an old fart. I've been to Pearl Harbor. I went with my family back in 1986. Every year I watch the Band of Brothers series, and it kicks off with episode 1 tonight. :2thumbs:


World wars shouldn't be forgotten or shoved under the rug. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

I have been there a dozen or so times, but only as a kid when I lived in Hawaii. I'd love to go back now that I understand what happend there.
