Pearl Harbor...

Yesterday was Pearl Harbor Day.

December 7th, a day that should never be forgotten.

I have to admit that I think of that day maybe once a week when I drive into

town.  I'm on the freeway, but can see the actual harbor from there.

Our storage unit is actually in Pearl City, right across from Pearl Harbor.

One day when I was done putting things in there, I drove across the street

to the park that's on the Pearl City side.  I'd never seen the Harbor from this angle

before.

That day I stood there and thought about everything that happened on that day.

I'm glad that every week (sometimes more) I have the opportunity  to remember

and be thankful for this country and never take Pearl Harbor for granted.

Pearl Harbor...

sometimes I forget that we live so close to such a famous place.

When I drive down Kam Hiway in Pearl City and look over I realize 

"there it is, so much history!  We live right here and take it for granted"

Pearl Harbor is huge!

there are a lot of big ships everywhere.  One the Ewa side 

there are ships that stored there, mothballed it's called.

One day I took these pictures at Blaisdell Park.  The park

is one the edge of Pearl Harbor.

This is Ford Island, where a lot of Navy personnel live.

Today is Pearl Harbor Day.

I'm glad that we live so close to so much history,
