In a moment of reflection with rose petals in hand and the recent loss of his wife weighing heavy in his heart, Larry was overcome with vivid memories of December 7 as though it was yesterday. With a salute and a prayer, the petals were swept away by the wind, leaving all in witness sobbing as a united unit. A powerful tribute we will never forget. Quote

Three Foot Johnson Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 I was able to visit the Arizona in February of 2006, and it was a very sobering experience to stand over the broken hulk with the realization that half of the dead during the attack died right below my feet. Quote
