Pearl Harbor




We all took a drive down to honolulu today to visit Pearl Harbor. I went once before when I was about 12 but I really appreciated it this time. Pearl Harbor is my favorite event in history. I LOVE the movie and it just means so much to American history. My favorite part was being on the actual USS Arizona monument and looking down at the ship below. There is still oil coming up from the boat and it's estimated to be coming up for several hundred more years! The huge wall with all the names on it was just amazing also. I can't believe how many people died that day. Not to mention everybody who died in the war altogether! I loved seeing Pearl Harbor today and thinking about everything that goes along with it.
