On our second day in Hawaii, we went to Pearl Harbor--the place where the US Pacific fleet was attacked by Japanese warplanes in 1941--the event that dragged the US into World War II.

Base of Gun Turret No. 3 --
One of the remains of the ship today. |

| Base of Gun Turret No. 2 (I think) |
It was an emotional and haunting experience being there--seeing the remnants of the battleship and all the names of the gallant men who risked their lives on that horrid day. They will always be remembered...
