A Day That Will Live In Infamy

A day late but the feeling is still the same. Sorry for the lack of posts. WE left for Florida on the 21st to spend Thanksgiving with my dad and stepmother, and didn't get home until the 30th. Now my mom and step dad are here! It's been a whirlwind! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Memorial Day 2013

In October of 2012 I was blessed to take a vacation to Hawaii with a close friend of mine. She suggested I take a day tour of Pearl Harbor on the island of Oahu since I am such a history buff.
 


The photo above is one I took while visiting the USS Arizona in Oahu. Legend has it that many who take photos of the oil that continues to leak will see faces of those who died tragically in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
 
Our tour guide also said that according to legend the oil will continue to leak until all who survived are returned.
 
Please remember those men and women who have served in all wars, all military units, in peacetime and wartime, those who returned, those who did not.
