Pearl Harbor

You can't go to Hawaii without seeing this place! Pearl Harbor is located on the island of Oahu and is a MAJOR tourist attraction. It is both solemn and BEAUTIFUL! Here we have a few pics from our morning at the memorial. Normally there's about a 2-3 hour wait just to get in. The NAVY plane is just here because it is at the memorial and I thought it was a good picuture. The tomb is sitting in front of the wall of names of all of the service men/women that lost their lives that day. The tomb itself has the names of all of the people that survived that day, but wanted to come back and be buried with their brothers when they died. It made me think of the cute little old men that I got to say "Aloha Coach Finley" on my home video for my history teacher when we came over 8 years ago. Hopefully they're both still alive. :0)
