It's hard to really speak with great energy about so somber a site as Pearl Harbor. But it did strike me as a very fitting and well executed Memorial to those who lost their lives 76 years back. (It's scary to realize that we're just 24 years away from the century anniversary of the date that will live in infamy.) For me, the greatest highlight was not the memorial, or the museums, but Mr. Robert Lee, who as a 20 year old witnessed the attack. His father was responsible was the water supplied to the base, so he had an incredible angle from which to view - and then participate, if in a spitting-in-the-wind fashion.
