Local organization finds way to allow visitors to experience memorial
"It's sad. A lot of people are coming over and expressing their disappointment on not being able to view the memorial or walk on it," said Mike Carr, president and COO of the USS Missouri Memorial Association.
Minor Thirds, Minor Thirds, Minor Thirds.
That really was what I was playing when that picture was taken.

Pretty! Pat’s been nagging for a concert ukulele, but I said he couldn’t have one unless he practiced more.
Practice is a MUST.
Interesting headline. The Arizona herself, not the memorial.
The Eretz Ziona (the land toward Zion)
Remember the number (of lives lost). It's 1177. It's one of those obscure mnemonics from the numeric value of the phrase in bold:
Dan 9. 2. In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years, which, according to the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem; seventy years:
(A reference to Jer 29.10)
Jerusalem (Zion) is an allegory for America.
Tears of the Arizona allusion:
Psalm 137.1

Tears cry from the ground (or ship "of state" as it were).
Jer 31.9. Hear the word of the Lord, O you nations, and declare it in the islands far away, and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, like a shepherd keeps his flock:
This stuff adds up over time. In these days, no detail is insignificant.
I have been there many times.
You are correct about the tears.
Yep...no detail is insignificant.
Oh sorry, right over my head, did not even get close to a connection. Fat-Bottomed Girls and Someone to Love does it for me. And Who Wants to Live Forever after he found he had AIDS. I was just genuinely curious why I thought you did not like ole’ Freddy. Now I understand.
No problem.
