It's National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Look back at the 'date which will live in infamy'
The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor is one of the most somber, haunting places I have experienced. In a tropical paradise, you stand over what is left of a massive battleship, sunk in shallow water and visible below the oil slicks on the surface of the gentle waves. The names of the hundreds of sailors entombed below are engraved on a wall before you. The setting invites you to remember or imagine the horrors of that morning, and those that followed.
Very few survivors of that attack remain with us today, less every year.
