If you ever get a chance, visit Pearl Harbor.
My FIL was a former crew member of the Arizona. He was out of the navy 2
weeks but still working in the ship yard when Pearl Harbor was attacked.
He helped pull people out of the water and wreckage. When he passed,
the military did a funeral ceremony for him on the Arizona memorial and
spread his ashes over it. As they were spreading his ashes in the water
they said the ship leaked out a black tear at the same time. Every time
we see the Arizona memorial on TV my husband says "hi dad!".
