Thoughts for the day -- Pearl Harbor

<p>Several articles on Pearl Harbor are in today’s newspapers. One caught my interest telling of the sinking of the USS Arizona Memorial itself. Apparently on a landfill & with over 4,000 visitors each day, it has structural damage from oversettling & water damage. Sadly, officials say that the memorial will have to be abandoned in as little as two to seven years. Sounds like they are raising funds for a new larger memorial & visitor’s center. I’m sorry we’re loosing such a treasure. What an awesome place to get a feeling for the nationwide patriotism & the will of the American people that we‘ve lost now due to today’s war & our times.</p>
