Pearl Harbor
 

I recall going to the Memorial there before heading over to PI and then Nam. We even went up to Diamond Head which gave you a good view of the base below. I also heard that another was laid to rest yesterday at the Memorial Site. Like so many others there. It's true many of them are mostly gone now. But like so many other's they will never be forgotten.

May he Rest In Peace with his Brother's at Sea.
