Remembering Pearl Harbor

I keep meaning to go and talk to him, because there are getting to be fewer and fewer Pearl Harbor veterans around all the time.

I pass the Arizona Memorial on my way to work and on my way home every day. This morning at 7:55 I could see the group that gathered atop the Arizona Memorial.

Every year they show footage of the Pearl Harbor rememberance ceremony on the news..and every year the group of survivors gets smaller and smaller.

Sometimes there are Japanese veterans who come here to commemorate December 7th. I have so much admiration for our American veterans who have learned how to forgive, who are able to stand next to an enemy to remember their dead comrades.
