U.S.S. Arizona (Dial-up warning)
December 7, 1941
























The U.S. has won no wars since WWII
Why do we keep trying?

1. Excellent photos, RC! Did you take them?
The one showing the ladder inside the mainmast is one I've never seen before!

K&R.

2. I was heartened to read this morning....
that there are still a few survivors of "this day that will live in infamy" and that they still meet every year. I guess this will be their last though, so to those brave men and women who survived that horrible day, :patriot: I salute you!

My best friend's grandfather designed the Arizona Memorial so I've always felt a connection, no matter how silly and removed, to it.

4. Watery tombs on our doorstep should have served as a reminder as
to what war is about. The enemy in this one didn't have oil in their homeland therefore was disposable homeland, a winnable war.
