<p>Well, I can certainly see why Hawaii goes fast! We had the opportunity last year to take our high school band students on a trip to the 65th Commemoration of the Bombing of Pearl Harbor, accompanied by a PH survivor from our state. Not only is Hawaii beautiful, but the historic significance of the events of the Day in Infamy are so sobering. Visiting the USS Arizona was such an emotional event - it surely reinforces to the newly commissioned officers the importance of their leadership role in the U.S. Military.</p>
<p>Since history has never been my strongest field, I’d be interested to know about some of the (perhaps lesser known) historic events that are associated with other bases - anyone have experience they’d like to share?</p>
