I hope to make that trip as well, I plan on taking my son with me. I want him to remember and honor those that have died for our freedom.Mr Bean wrote:I actually visited Hawaii last year and spent a day at Pearl Harbor. Visited the USS Arizona memorial too. Very moving. The ship is still leaking bubbles of oil to this day. Sobering to think that you are standing over the remains of thousands of brave young men your own age. Highly recommended...
Remember Pearl Harbor please...

Slightly off topic, but relevant:
Equally sobering is a trip to a concentration camp. To this day, I can STILL see Dachau in my mind -- VIVIDLY.
