[Boatanchors] A moment, a day, a passing of a generation

Thank you for the link to the Yahoo News item.

As I read the article another tear came to my eye as it did when I visited 
the Arizona in 1976. While standing on the Memorial my wife asked me "Whats 
the matter?", as she noticed a tear on my cheek. I told her how sad and 
lucky I felt - sad for my fellow sailors - lucky because (Even though it had 
been 22 years since I was in the Navy) I came through the Korean Conflict 
unhurt.
It is almost impossible to describe the feelings I had on the Memorial.
PLEASE, let us NEVER forget and STAY ALERT.
