Thanks for the share Nurse thats and great read
The Pearl Harbor memorial is an amazing and life changing experience
I did a Westpac on the USS Tarawa and we hit port in Pearl Harbor twice, the 1st time i went to see the Arizona was right at sunset and there was almost nobody there, I can still remember how calm the water was and seeing the oil come the surface, there must have been around 300 Marines and Sailors that showed up that later that evening
nobody ever said a word when they see it

RIP Master Chief Haerry

Looks like he got a special salute at an airport as well...



I bet that hat got a lot of WTF's in that mans lifetime...

Multiple generations of sailors probably stopped on a dime. "Excuse me sir. Am I reading that fricking hat correctly!!!??" I'm sure they'd be more polite but damn!

I bet that is one surreal and goosebump producing dive. No matter how many times you may make it.
