it's funny, not too many people know where pearl harbor is. you ask them and they get a funny look on their faces like they are thinking real hard. i guess it's just one of those things that elude people, regardless of the number of times they are introduced to it (in grade school, high school, in the movies, in books, etc.).
the numbers lost in pearl harbor were pretty close to those we lost in the world trade center collapses. the only times someone has attacked us in our homeland. february 26 '93, september 11 '01, and december 7 '41 all ring a special bell for me, and i thank the gods i was in the job i was in 2001, instead of in New York - i had a choice and chose to stay in NJ.
my grandfather was, as well, in WWII. i don't know where he was stationed. i just know it wasn't hawaii.

I pretty much spent my teens on Pearl Harbor as my father was a Career Sailor. I've been on the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial on more than one occasion. It really never did feel like a tour to me.

Physically being at the memorial had such an impact compared to just reading about it.

Thats awesome, we were there from 7/23-8/2. We spent around 4 days on Oahu and the remaining time on Maui.
