Today we honor the men and women who died in the attacks on Hawaii late in 1941. In the photograph below, the Officers and Crew line the flight deck of the USS Ronald Reagan, CVN-76, as they salute the war memorial at the resting place of the USS Arizona.
A very good friend I work with was in the Navy for like 20 years. He says that every time the visited Pearl, ALL the crew was out manning the rails as they sailed into port, and past the Arizona.
He said all eyes were on her, and you could hear a pin drop.
God bless our Military people!
Yep – we love the military – all except the commander-in-chief, that is.
