On Thursday we spent 12 hours on a tour of Oahu. This showed us what Hawaii is really like. First stop was Pearl Harbor. Everyone was very quiet during the movie, boat ride, and once we went on the Arizona memorial. The part that really touched me was the marble block with the names of survivors of December 7th that when they died wanted to go back and be buried with their fellow sailors, Navy divers place the urns of their ashes in the gun terrets. So far, 39 sailors have been brought back to the place where they experienced the worse that life has to offer.
