We were very close to losing WWII before it even began.

I'd rep you for it, but I read your "kissing your sister" comment, so you're beat.

These are pictures I took this last year visiting and paying my respects.

This is the oil from the arizona that represents the blood of the men still entombed in the Mighty Ship and of everyone that died that day. You can see its Main Gun Turret out of the water still and 2 survivors from that Fateful day.

Damn.. I thought this was going to be a thread about Dash's College graduation!!

Seriously... good thread.

A reminder of why we should work hard to keep the peace as global citizens.

Probably the most moving place I've ever been to. Definitely cried like a little girl. The "tears of the soldiers" (the oil) was pretty incredible.

Damn.. I thought this was going to be a thread about Dash's College graduation!!

I spent the best 8 years of my life at college getting a four year degree...
