A tear here and there and heart full of love as' we pulled away

So quiet.., so still.., silent prayers could be heard

As far as the eye could see .., tranquility

As the oil rose .. so did the rings of prayers ring out

No words could replace each bubble

The water was so still it reflected our emotion

The morning sunrise set the stage for the day

Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos. I watched a Pearl Harbor special on Memorial Day. They said that about nine quarts of oil per day rises up from the Arizona. Pearl Harbor must never be forgotten.

When I was there in the 60's I remember the Arizona Memorial people inviting Elvis to come to the islands for a show, and I believe he did. It wasn't until much later than I saw a photo of the actually memorial the way it stands today. It's a fitting tribute and a wonderful thing these people did to remember the "Arizona".
God love them one and all.

You did remarkable work capturing this tribute to a day that will live in infamy. Thank you for sharing these beautiful images, Dr. Nikon.

I had the privilege of being at Pearl Harbor and witnessed the dedication ceremony. Following the ceremony I was invited by Fr. Walter Mahler (Navy Chaplain I worked for
when I was a USMCWR) to attend a tea where he did the invocation. I have slides of these events. Your pictures bring back cherished memories. 🇺🇸

Thank you for sharing these beautiful photographs...The attack on Pearl Harbor happened a year before I was born, but it had tremendous effect on my parents families and all Americans...Never forget!

Thnx everyone for your wonder replies ...,
IT was a pleasure and an honor to be there on Memorial Day .. they raised the colors at 8am and there was a tear in my eye as I was passing the flag area taking picture when the bugle sounded .. I froze in place started to take pictures of the colors going up and then stopped ..., this was the first time there was a tear drop like the drop of oil raising up from The Arizona ... I was overcome by the moment .., I was a little taken back by the low turn out.., but there was quality rather than quantity ... just about everyone was a patriot ...

I go often as this sacred place is in my backyard ...., as well as Puncbowl .., where sometimes I walk up from my place to just to clear my head and talk to those who lay beneath my feet ..

Thnx again for looking ..
