RIP, Sailor.

My late FIL was a Pearl Harbor Survivor ... US Navy Medical Corps. That generation is rapidly passing away. Among them, men were men, and women were women, and the Axis was defeated.

We would do well to recover some of their wisdom.

The Missouri had just come out of dry dock with fresh paint and a thorough cleaning below decks. We got into every part of the ship except the boiler room (straight down via ladder.)
The officers’ dining area was set with a table service, as if it were minutes from sitting down for chow.
There is also a submarine memorial that must been seen at Pearl. Every sub we lost in WW II is memorialized with the names of the officers and crew. I had no idea so many submarines had been lost or were “still on patrol,” as they say...

Maybe I am getting cynical, but when a thread on FR about the passing of one of the last of the USS Arizona heroes barely gets 10 post and a hoax death thread about a B- class actor gets over double that in almost the same amount of time I can’t help but think many be there isn’t any hope for America.

Don't lose hope, Kart. Many of us simply sit and read in silent reverence. No words I could type could convey how I feel. I'm certain there are others who do the same.
