Well, the family just got back from 3 hours at the USS Arizona Memorial. it was an honor to be part of a group of about 45 people that spent the time raising and lowering 1800 US Flags over her. Here are some pictures from today. Some of the ship itself that are sticking out of the water. The big circle section is one of the big gun turrents while the smaller 3' pipe looking section is one of the ships vents. It looked to have some of the ships cables running through it as well. I reached over and took a picture down into it. Also is the wall of names. we were also on hand for a Navy 4 Star to preside over an Air Force Major promotion to LT Col. Got to meet a great uncle of the new LT Col who was on Gudalcanal when it was attacked as well.
