Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy.. 08 Dec 2015 04:39:27am | re: USS ARIZONA
And to be complete in 1942, Japan issued two stamps in December 1942 showing Battleship Row during the attack a year earlier.
This photo shows the USS Arizona with the USS Vestal alongside, was taken by a Japanese pilot a few minutes before a bomb penetrated the Arizona's decks and exploded.
I was very pleased to visit the memorial built across the hull of the Arizona last year. When I was stationed in Hawaii the memorial was just a dream in the mind of some committed patrons, and a few years later on a short visit it was under construction.
While a trip to Hawaii may be out of many members budgets, if it is ever possible, visiting Pearl harbor and later the Punchbowl National Cemetery is a must see.
