It's been 71 years since my grandfather died on the USS California. Serval of his sons and sons in law went into the war. One was captured in Bataan and went though the Bataan Death March, he stayed a POW until the end of the war.

We visited Pearl Harbor in 2007 when we went to Hawaii. That was honestly the highlight of the trip. The Patriotism that was felt while standing there was unreal. The USS Arizona where the memorial is built still leaks oil today. If you ever go to Hawaii, make sure that a Pearl Harbor visit is on the bucket list. God Bless America!!!

I have an American flag in a display case on my desk at home, that flew over the Arizona in 1996.

When I went to Hawaii I had ordered ahead of time an American flag from the USS Missoui that would be flown over the ship the same day I was aboard on the first day there. They shiped it to me the next day and it was there when I got back home.

I received mine from my coworkers when I was leaving Hawai'i. Great flag, excellent Koa wood presentation case.
When I left in 1996, the Missouri wasn't there and there was no bridge to Ford Island. There also weren't any tours of Pearl Harbor without a DD Form 2.
