RE: A day that will live in infamy ?
As a young Cub Scout I took a tour of the Missouri when she was still at Bremerton. This would have been about 1971. There was a bronze plaque set into the deck where the Jap delegation signed the instruments of surrender on 2 Sep,1945. Five years later I stood on the Memorial and looked down through the water at the deck of the Arizona. I guess I got the reverse tour, in a way. First the end, then the beginning. I've been fortunate over the years to have met many warriors from that conflict, a few famous, many not famous, and quite a few who would rather not be reminded of their pain and sacrifice. God Bless them all.
