On a visit to Pearl Harbor I was moved by this. It seems those who cheated death that day wanted to return. I had the same feeling in Saving Private Ryan when Ryan returned to kneel at the Cross of the captain to died to save him. The last words of the Captain to Ryan was to be ‘worth [earn?] this’. A troubled Ryan asked his wife ‘was I a good man’? War is not over till it’s finally over.

Rest in Peace, Shipmate!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Awesome. He is among friends. When I was there twelve years or so ago, they had among the names, people interned after Pearl Harbor and the guide who was a Pearl Harbor survivor said they will inter people that survived which is pretty cool.

I wonder, soon enough, there won’t be any survivors left as guides, it’s sad.

The movie they showed before the ride to the memorial was so incredible, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

Again, really lousy job of headline writing
(where did they bury the survivors?)

Ave atque vale.

My first cousin once removed was a medical corpsman on the Arizona that had gone to the main hospital that morning. He had no ship with which to return. He worked for three days straight in the hospital with the dying and wounded before he collapsed. He had some real issues until he developed Alzheimer’s but he had lived a good Christian life until he passed.

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.
