Description
A December 7th tribute collage from my trip to Hawaii in 1995. They aren't the usual shots, but each is a reminder of the past and the gallant men and women who were the victims of Washington's bumbledom at Pearl Harbor.
Large photo: The battleship USS Arizona's mooring as seen from the Memorial. The ship lies under water directly inboard of the concrete pier.
Upper right: Pearl Harbor is a working U.S. Navy base as this gig buzzing by the Memorial shows.
Bottom right: One of the most missed historical places in Hawaii is the U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii on Waikiki Beach.People walk by it along the beachfront everyday at Fort Derussy park. It is Battery Randolph that once mounted 14 inch disappearing rifles, but now displays 7 inch guns in their place. Walk around to the park side and learn a lot about Hawaii's military history from ancient to modern times. Tanks, guns and all sorts of cool stuff are on display.

Very timely Rog! Excellent tribute. Been to all these places too...but I got to go to Hawaii 8-9 times to work at Wheeler Army Airfield and Schofield Barracks...both prominently featured in "From Here to Eternity", "Tora, Tora, Tora" and at least half a dozen other films.

Isn't it incredible to see the oil still bubbling to the surface from the Arizona all these years later.

Benn to Hawaii once in my life, and it was for work, and my boss who came with me was going to make dam sure that we worked almost constantly. In the middle of the trip it was midnight in his room and gave him an ultimatum. I would work 6am to 9pm period. A lot of the work I did there was looking at there junk yards body shops and completed repairs.As you might guess these places age not garden spots. At he end we concluded there was too much graft abd coruption going on and we pulled out of the state. I did get lost in he Hickum airforce base
