I visited that place several years ago and it brings tears to my eyes now and then! Bless our vets hearts and their families too! #1642293

Amazing capture Ed with all of the Vets on the monument! My dad joined the Navy in 1943, he had just turned 18! He was stationed on the USS California after it's resurrection from Pear Harbor! Thanks for sharing! #11398141

Thank you both! Joannie, I'm a Navy brat born the same year your dad joined. I'm also a Navy veteran and retired Army National Guard. #11400657
