December 7th

2 things happened today...well really 1 thing happened today the other happened 70 years ago today. I guess I'm old now, we use to talk about this day in school a lot. It was never a holiday but we always knew about Pearl Harbor Day. I don't think kids today know much about it. I don't think they know much about 9/11 either, but thats just my opinion. But just wanted to remember today, I think being at the Arizona Memorial and seeing the fuel that is still escaping from the ship and knowing its a graveyard for 1100 men who just were waking up for the day and had to clue that this was how it was going to end for them is something I'll always remember. We were the first ship out there that morning. I was amazed the reverence and the vets that still go out there to take care of their brothers.





The other thing that happened today was Aunt Marybell's funeral. It was good to see all the family but not the way everyone wanted to enjoy a family reunion. Here is a copy of the funeral program.
