Veteran's Day


Since it is Veteran's Day, I thought it would be a good idea to use one of my photos from the USS Arizona Memorial. This particular metal object can be seen as you approach the memorial, and I believe it is actually part of the sunken ship. It looks like an entrance pipe that has rusted over the years from exposure.
What a somber experience to see it from the shore, as well as experience it underfoot. It certainly makes you feel a sense of patriotism and thankfulness. Ties in wonderfully with Thanksgiving...maybe that's why the two holidays are in November...ya think?
