I can talk a blue streak until I got on that boat that takes you out the The Arizona. Everything just gets quiet and you walk through it whispering - in awe of the men and women who endured that attack. If you are going, the tickets are free but you have to get in line. We got there by 7 AM and were the 3rd group in when they opened. When we came out the line was so long I couldn't see the end of it. The survivors walk amongst you and are so happy to talk with you. Unfortunately, every year there are less of them. God Bless them. http://www.cruiseadventure4u.com PatSea@CruiseAdventure4U.com

Rebecca was 5 years old at the time, but she remembers the USS Arizona. The memorials in DC for the Vietnam and Korean Wars move me, but the USS Arizona strikes me deeper. And I honestly cannot put into words why.

I too can't describe what was different about it but it is. Although I must tell you that many years ago I worked at a building in NYC that put a Vietnam memorial in the space between the 2 buildings and it was very touching and no matter when you went outside there would be a veteran or 2 at the least sitting there. One day I was having a really bad day at work so I went downstairs to have a cigarette and just destress when a veteran wheeled over to me and handed me a sad face pin that said P.O.W.'s never have a good day. It put everything in perspective for me and I went back upstairs to work with a whole different attitude. Pat - Travel Agent http://www.cruiseadventure4u.com PatSea@CruiseAdventure4U.com
