- We've had the opportunity to visit a lot of different places from WWII but in this episode, we're going to the exact spot where it all ended on the U.S.S. Missouri. There are few words that we can say that can convey what a historically important place this is so we're going to just let the images speak for themselves. Enjoy!

Hey brother If there's ever a chance for you to visit USS Iowa in San Pedro California, please do and about 2 blocks away from her is an amazing place called JD Hobbies. It's 10,000 square feet of historical everything from all wars, space, books, movies, sports, dioramas, artifacts, antique soldiers and vehicles from Roman times to modern. It's incredible and the way it's set up is Epic! The owner is a guy named Lou who has done many history projects for all types of producers and it's in such a historical area with the old Warner theater across the street and many places restored from the 1800's -the WW2 era. Lou travels all over and his dad was in charge of hair for many movies such as the Planet of the Apes with Chuck Heston etc. Super nice guy and you could do a show just on his place alone.
I served aboard the Missouri during the Gulf War from 1990-92. I am glad you enjoyed your visit. You videos are some of the best on TH-cam. Thank you for all your hard work!
Above All! Thank you for your service! Where would we be without those, like you, giving of yourselves and insuring the freedom and liberty we all enjoy?
I imagine you have alot of stories from your time on the Missouri.
I was TAD aboard Missouri in 91 during Desert Storm as a Marine linguist.
Thank you
Reading through the comments, I didn’t expect to see this. That is really cool that you served on this ship that had so much history. I have been on this ship several times. Thank you for your service.
By far the most quality historical content on TH-cam. I'm not sure what it is you add to the videos that make them such good quality, but keep doing it!
🙏🏼
I absolutely agree 💞
Yes! I agree!
100% agree He does a great job on every video!! Everyday when I get a chance to sit down and watch a episode is a great day!!
I concur, Keep it up!!!! Thank you
One of the best channels on TH-cam
I agree. It is one of the best!
@@lizlittle1641 I’m a history major in NY and a veteran. This is what I wanted to learn about it college and 90% of the curriculum was gender studies so this channel makes up for that.
Thanks! I really do appreciate that. Hopefully the channel is doing some good in some way.
@@TheHistoryUnderground I assure you it is.
The History Underground channel is by far the best channel on TH-cam I was stationed there a while back and seen all these historical sites and I want to thank you for keeping the History alive . Keep up the great work, look forward to watching future episodes.
I admire the decision to place the USS Missouri near the USS Arizona. These two battleships bookend the start and ending to the Pacific Campaign of World War II. Great job on all of your Pearl Harbor videos, JD!
I really like the decision that was made to place them together.
Japanese tourists at Pearl Harbor always get their photos taken in front of the USS Arizona memorial, never in front of the USS Missouri.
@@TheHistoryUnderground that was a fact that i had no idea ,i didnt know the bow of the AZ was even still there
@@TheHistoryUnderground you know they put the 2 battleship guns like that in phoenix too
@@vw2112 I can't wait to get back to Mighty Mo and show my family the ship I served on from 85 - 89.
Thanks JD 👍
A lot of people don't realize that places like the USS Missouri and the Aviation Museum rely heavily on donations for their existence. It's awesome that people are willing to volunteer and donate to preserve these important parts of history.
100% agree.
When I was in the Navy, I was on the USS Constellation CV-64 and off her flight deck I got to see the USS New Jersey fire her 16” guns. It was one of those things seen live, you never forget! Great video as always
Dirty 😊👋
I am sure this was an important day for you, I know it was for me as well being from Missouri and seeing our namesake ship. We visited her and Pearl Harbor in September and it was a very emotional visit for me. My son (9 years old) also got an opportunity to drive the boat from the USS ARIZONA Memorial. What a special memory we will have of such an important place in American history. Thanks for also pointing out the fact that the two ships are facing each other in the symbolic nod to the beginning and ending of World War II. I always love your content. Take Care, and safe travels.
Interesting. Thanks!
So appropriate for the USS Missouri to be docked in Pearl Harbor. We visited it when it was in Bremerton, then saw it cruising into Hawaii from the air when leaving Honolulu. Quite a sight.
Agreed. Love that it’s there.
The feeling of being able to stand on or at a historical site is indescribable. ‘Humbled’ comes to mind, but does not quite do the feeling justice, to me. I have to thank you once again for such amazing content!
I had that feeling at Gettysburg…particularly Little Round Top.
Excellent video JD! I truly admire how you have brought the beginning and the end of WWII to light in this video. I never knew the significance of the bows of the Arizona and Missouri until today. This is why I love your videos. The little things you highlight that no one knows during the course of the war have so much meaning. Thank you.
Thanks! Having those two ships right there together is certainly symbolic.
Good lord, these episodes just get better and better. Thank you JD.
Absolutely fascinating. I learned quite a lot from this video. I was amazed to learn of the ceremonial respect given to a Kamikaze pilot to tried to do harm to the very ship in which he was honored from prior to his burial at sea. I wonder if they would have done that for one of ours? Thank you so much for these videos, they are absolutely amazing and greatly appreciated. 👍👍
The job you do to preserve History, is overwhelming! Thank you! I was named after my 4x uncle, 51 Pennsylvania volunteers Civil War, my Grandfather was a CPO on a destroyer in South Pacific in WW2, my Father was in Air Force during Korean War an was stationed in Japan. I was Law Enforcement for 16 years. The job you do telling all these Historical moments, really moves me! Pulls at my heartstrings! Don't stop! Great job!
I visited the “Mighty Mo” in 2005. Just to be standing on her deck where the Japanese surrendered was simply awesome. Great job on this video, you nailed it. Taking a tour of the inside of the ship would not have been as meaningful as the way you presented the history of the ship. Thank you from an appreciative subscriber in Connecticut.
David 😑
thank you for highlight this amazing ship.
the first day i stepped on the teak wood deck of the missouri on tuesday, november 13, 1990, never once i thought i would look back on history some 31 years 8 months 5 days later that was the highlight of my career in the us navy. best experience ever, to served on this beauty from november 13, 1990 to march 31, 1992. went to the gulf war on this ship and called her home sweet home, what an experience many dream and only a few got a chance to live it.
🇺🇸
I remember visiting that battleship when I was a kid during fleet week in San Fran in the 90s. It was still an active ship. When I saw the surrender deck I was hooked on history.
Amazing ship. Glad that it got you into history!
JD, I'm a 74 year old Air Force veteran of the Vietnam Era, and I really enjoy your channel. I recently finished watching your tour of the pacific island battles, and I wonder if you plan to do the same with Korea & Vietnam. Your knowledge of the terrain and ebb and flow of the battles, make watching them a joy for a history buff such as myself.
I was getting goose bumps, seeing the exact spot today then the news reel footage from the surrender ceremony. I can't help but comment a lot on your videos. They are so well done and with great honor. Thank you for bringing these great history pieces to us.
Keep up with the amazing work. Take care.
Sir, I have been watching your incredible videos for a couple of years. I have always loved American History and by far you are an amazing person, so full of knowledge. You share so much pertinent and interesting information that it is truly remarkable to me. I would certainly recommend your videos to any American History teacher/professor and Historical Society so that all will truly appreciate and love the people who have done so much good for the USA through the ages. Keep up the fantastic work and God Bless! Steve - Massachusetts
That really means a lot. Thank you.
Would you consider conducting a video within the special section of Arlington cemetery for the heroes who perished during Iraqi Freedom and the Afghanistan war. One beautiful young woman just out of high school back in 2005 (Sam Huff), was killed in Iraq. She was a very brave woman and had her whole life ahead of her. She is buried in Arlington cemetery. She was from Arizona and had planned to obtain a phycology degree and join the FBI once her service to her Country was completed. But she never had the chance
@@stephenmorse7709 Hello 👋 Morse ! 👅 Hello, How old are you ? Where you from ?? Nice 😊 meeting you xx 😘 😊
Thanks for this episode! I was honored to serve aboard Missouri during Desert Storm, and also visited Pearl Harbor while aboard. Hope I can get over there to visit the ship again.
Great show! I've enjoyed many of your Civil War episodes, and I appreciate your love of history.
That is so cool to have the bows of the Arizona and Missouri facing each other. That is incredible!!
Agreed. Never knew that until I went there.
WoodWorker ! 😎
Great stuff again. I had the pleasure to re-enlist in the Navy in Pearl Harbor. I got to do it on the USS Arizona July 1999 and on USS Missouri in July 2002. That last re-enlistment on the Missouri took me to my Retirement in February 2006. Thank you for sharing this. It was a "GREAT HONOR" for me to do this in my career and not many people can lay claim to that.
🇺🇸
Overt !👋
Have had interest in war history for a over 35 years a friend from Northern Ireland 20 years ago got me photos of pearl harbour and have a book on aftermath your recent shows have been informative
Appreciate that!
Absolutely loved every video from Pearl Harbor so far. Thank you so much for these awesome videos
Thanks!
I am really enjoying this series every episode brings back memories of my Dad who was in Europe and two of my Uncles who were in the Pacific . Thanks
🇺🇸
My wife and flew out to Hawaii back in January for our 35 anniversary. While we were there we went over to Pearl Harbor to U.S. Arizona and the USS Missouri. What a somber place. We definitely learned more about the attack. Thanks for sharing your trip
I have seen ALL your videos, they keep evolving and get even more enjoyable 😊
MORE!
Appreciate that!
Never enough time to see everything there is to see on the Missouri. Fascinating place.
Agreed.
There is NOTHING in history I love more than our battleships, thank you JD for another superb video. By orders of magnitude the best, most engaging, most well edited, and well presented history content on TH-cam. We'll done, sir, and thank you.
If you ever find yourself in my beautiful state of North Carolina, I hope you can make your way down to Wilmington to see our battleship, USS NC BB-55. Plus, there's a Confederate fort nearby, Fort Fisher, that was the site of two fairly significant battles in 1864 and '65, Wilmington was the last major Confederate coastal stronghold and was known as "the Gibraltar of the South" seems like something that would be right up your alley.
Also tiny correction: 6:49 I believe you meant to say that the _South Dakota_ and _North Carolina_ classes have/had 16" 45 caliber guns, and the _Iowa_ class have 16" 50 cals.
Thanks! Definitely looking to get to NC at some point.
I was stationed on the USS Missouri from 1986 to 1990. I'm really happy you made this video.
Wow! That is awesome.
When I was a kid if it wasn't The Alamo, it was Pearl harbor that we kids were reminded of all the time. I don't recall a book entitled 'We Were There at the ALAMO', but I do remember reading 'We Were There at Pearl Harbor' numerous times. En Route to Vietnam we landed at Hickam for a lay-over, but we weren't allowed out of the terminal. Always wanted to go back but never have. So, thank you for covering Pearl. Keep up the good work.
Glad to share the experience. Thank you.
Thank you JD for another amazing video! I think your videos are the best for sharing history!
🙏🏼
Yet another fantastic video, keep up the great work you do to bring history alive for the younger generations. I can't wait until my 2 year old son is old enough to understand what happened then and I can show him all your videos to given him the best look at the true history of what occurred and not the abridged versions that our schools are currently teaching. Thank you for giving this to the world.
Jason !
That was impressive. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks! Pretty amazing place.
Wife and I visited Pearl and the Mighty MO in 2011. Was surreal, almost like being in a dream standing at the plaque. It was also extra special to tour the command of my mother's guardian Captain (later Adm.) Roscoe Hillenkoetter.
Haz 👋
My dad who passed away in 2017 at age 92 was on the Heavy Cruiser USS Louisville CA 28 and after (2) kamikaze hits and her repairs completed on April 10, 1945, Louisville delivered Admiral Halsey's 50 officers and 100 staff to the battleship Missouri at Guam in May 1945 and Louisville returned to the Pacific to join TF 54 in providing gunfire support for ground forces on Okinawa.
We visited mothballed USS Missouri BB 63 in Bremerton, WA - (closed for filming movie MacArthur with Greggory Peck in 1976) and boarded Mighty Mo in 1978 in Bremerton, WA.
Tony !
A wonderful presentation on the events during the signing of the surrender/peace documents aboard the enormous USS Missouri. (For those who have never had the experience of seeing a modern, US Navy Fleet Carrier or retired battleship, it’s one of those experiences in life where photographs don’t even begin to give the subjects justice and most folks seem awestruck by how truly massive these vessels are). Some other interesting things I’ve read about the surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay. The first I cannot independently verify, but have read from numerous, different sources- and that is that upon order of Admiral Nimitz (and perhaps other senior officers), all naval rifles, 5” guns and other heavy armaments aboard the Mighty Mo’ and other ships at anchorage in Tokyo Bay were fully elevated, but also fully loaded and crewed. It appears the Allied Forces remained wary right to the formal end. The second interesting fact concerns the table and chairs used during the surrender ceremony. (This one came directly from an official USNPS docent on board the USS Missouri, so I think it accurate and true.) You will notice in the historical film from the ceremony that the table, though draped with a heavy cloth, clearly shows raised edges on all sides. This is because the table used in the ceremony was an ordinary, crew messing table, brought up from a crew messing area. The raised edges helped keep plates, cups, bowls etc. from easily sliding off in rough seas. The chairs, likewise, were ordinary chairs taken from officers’ staterooms. Further, our guide mentioned that furniture such as these pieces may have been manufactured by federal inmates in prison workshops. Seems even the incarcerated may have done their bit if this too is historically accurate. Perhaps our YT friend can verify or correct my information about the ships’ guns being loaded and crewed. If you’ve never had the opportunity to visit Pearl Harbor, do so if possible. It will be the trip of a lifetime. Thank you again for presentation. Be well all.
Andy !😑👋
I've always been interested in WW2 and the Civil War. Thanks for bringing us along. Now that my kids are getting older we'll be taking a few a the same trips.
😃
On our honeymoon in 1982, my wife and I traveled to Bremerton to visit her brother, who worked in the Naval ship yard. At the time the Missouri was tied up there in an inlet by itself. It was sealed but you could walk right up to the main deck. Hope to see her at Pearl again someday.
One of my uncles (Dick) was a navy signalman on the Missouri and was at Tokyo Bay when Japan signed the peace treaty. He told us he was handed a signal after the treaty was signed. He turned on his big signal light, aimed it out towards the fleet, and flashed out the signal, "Cease Fire, Cease Fire." So, he actually sent the last signal of WW II.
Back in the 1950s he was brought to New York to be on a TV show called “We the People” where they interviewed him about his experiences. I still remember watching my uncle Dick tell his story on television
Many decades ago, when the “Mighty Mo” was in Norfolk, I took my son on a tour. I have a picture of him standing where the peace treaty was signed.
Hello, How old are you ? Where you from ?? Nice 😊 meeting you xx 😘 😊
Thank You History Underground and the Gettysburg Foundation for getting this video made. On that deck it was assured that America would continue to speak English and Thousands of Americans paid the ultimate price so we could maintain our way of life. Let us never forget our way of life and all that entails.
Excellent. My home State. My Mom worked as a telephone operator in Rolla, Missouri. It was the main long distance office for Fort Leonard Wood, that office knew about the death of FDR before before most of the state did. They of course did not talk about it.
Interesting.
I was in Hawaii in April and visited Pearl Harbor, the new submarine museum, the aviation museum, and the Utah. Since I'm a DoD employee I got onto Wheeler and Schofield barracks. Capital ships are moored with their bows pointing out to sea, which is how the Arizona is positioned. The Missouri should be positioned the same way but that would have placed its stern to the Arizona. Therefore, it was turned around so that its bow faced the Arizona paying honors to it. A place that doesn't get many visitors is the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, commonly known as the Punchbowl. It is out of the way, but well worth the trip. The Honolulu Memorial is amazing. I hope JD went there.
Ron 🥰👋
I spotted ol bull in that lineup instantly…real heros and men that are reasons were here today..mega history right here
My uncle was on that ship in sick bay. He was wounded when his ship was torpedoed and he and a few men were floating in the debris. He was picked up and put into sick bay.
Wow!
The USS Missouri was at Bremerton, WA for years. I remember my cousins and I running around the main deck back in the 60s.
Templeton 👋
Great video! I had a chance to visit The Mighty Mo, paid respects to those on the Arizona, and the aviation museum last October. At the location of where the kamikaze attack happened, if you leaned over the railing (carefully), you can see where the plane impacted and left an indentation. She's the first battleship I ever had a chance to visit and the trip was well worth it. Bought souvenirs to support the museum.
T 👋
I really enjoy your style of presenting these documentaries . It will make my up coming trip to Gettysburg much more enjoyable. Thank You
Dan 👋😑
JD, I really enjoyed the pearl harbor episodes and because of you i got a decent list to visit hahaha. Great work as always!
Thanks!
I was lucky enough to get a tour of the engineering space. Fantastic.
Runner !
Just finished watching this video and I'm very grateful to have seen this. My uncle was in the Navy and when he was in his 90's he told me about being on the ship that was the escort for the USS Missouri at the time of the signing of this document. He watched it from the deck of his ship. I'm addicted to your channel! Thank you.
Thanks! I always love hearing those stories.
Outstanding!!! Thank you for taking us on your adventures and sharing this incredible history!
I’ve been on the USS Missouri twice: once in 1979 in Bremerton, WA, and once at Pearl Harbor, HI around 2005.
My granddad died in the Pearl Harbor attack on the USS West Viginia. He was 23 years old.
Great Job JD! I love that you are keeping History Alive, Humbling what everyone went through during that time period! Love the content of the video and the information at the end about the Bows pointing at each other! Outstanding Brother!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video my man. They are authentic, moving, and so genuinely well done. The music really brings a vibe to the films as well. They are not over the top or flashy. They have that old school vibe, which I love and think separates your video's from others. You have something pretty special going on here. Keep up the solid work and we will keep supporting.
Gavin !👋
Seeing the Arizona and Missouri were the highlights of my visit to Pearl Harbor, but one thing that video doesn't convey is the absolute size and awesomeness that is the battleship Missouri. It's huge in every way imaginable and is beautiful, if that's an acceptable word for an instrument of war.
My guy.. once again I envy you! Another fantastic program. Pearl Harbor is still on my bucket list and I will get out there. When it comes to the history that is told and Untold you are the man. Keep them coming!
You had a beautiful day to visit this ship. Again learned more about the Missouri...
Growing up in Bremerton Washington, I saw the Missouri all the time while sitting next to 62 USS New Jersey. I miss them both but knew that the Might Mo belonged in Pearl Harbor. It was destiny. Watch the movie “An officer and a gentleman” when Richard Gere gets on his motorcycle the Missouri is right behind him. That was what I saw for 30 plus years :-) and what an awe inspiring site they are.
An awesome video. Lots of History there for sure. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences, you give us a chance to visit some really interesting places that we might otherwise never see.
Rob 👋
I’m 55 from St. Louis. I likely will never get there. Thanks for allowing me to walk the Mighty Mo with you.
Great video and content, thank for creating and putting together 👍
My great uncle was on the Missouri for the surrender. Luckily he is still with us. Such a great man
I have been watching you for quite a while now. I have to tell you how much I appreciate what you do and your editing is incredible. I hope one day to have the opportunity to meet you in person.
I/we had chills (on a very warm July day) as we stood where the surrender documents were signed. Thank you for taking us back. Like you we were fortunate to visit both the Arizona and the Missouri.
The peace table they signed it on is at the Annapolis Naval Academy museum on campus. I got to see that 2 years ago. That's a great museum if you ever get a chance to go.
MrTallMan 😊
Nice! Wish i can see in person of the USS Missouri! Your topic in history is awesome! Always watching your blog!
Lance !
Another excellent video, JD. This one gave me chills. I had never seen the surrender deck before, other than in pictures of the surrender ceremony. I did not know that the Missouri was placed facing the Arizona. Thanks for enlightening me. Your videos should be required in schools.
👍🏻
Great video on the U.S.S. Missouri. When I was 11 I had the privilege to visit it in Bremerton, WA. BTW, did you know that the trial casting of the surrender plaque is in the small Sea Services Museum in Sebring, Fl. Very interesting!
Meyer !
Absolutely love your work big fan.
I visited the Missouri and found that if you look over the side of the ship, you can see an imprint of the plane, front and wings.
I can't think of a better place for the Missouri to be than right where it all began since her deck is where it all ended.
That ship would be a great museum wherever she was, but being in Pearl Harbor, along battleship row, with her bow pointed towards Arizona's bow...it makes a statement.
Missouri sits there to remind Arizona, the men that still rest inside her, and all those that died in between that their sacrifice was not meaningless...that peace was restored.
Agreed
Always amazing JD. Thank you for your tireless reporting.
👍🏻
This is truly great! I can't hear MacArthur's and Wainwright's names and not get goosebumps :)
👍🏻
Another great video JD. We can only hope that more folks will see and heed the cost that was paid. Thanks for what you do. Impressive, you didn't hit your head.😆 👍👍👍👍👍
😅
Your very lucky to get to go to these important historical places thanks for taking us with you most of us will never make it there ourselves thank you
Joe
I didn't know a representative of my country, The Netherlands co-signed too... I am learning everytime
Always learning!
@@TheHistoryUnderground yes!! Even about the May 1940 bombing of my hometown Rotterdam. Always something new.
I saw this ship when it was departing Sydney Harbour many years ago.And the size of it is just amazing, not long before it was decommissioned for its last time. You Should mention somewhere its mothball history which is amazing also. A Great Great Ship Cheers!!!!
Thank you for this episode on Pearl Harbor. A nice story of the start of the conflict with USS Arizona and end of the conflict with USS Missouri. History seeing eye to eye.
American historians are masters of this kind of style. I remember visiting the Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum, and something really caught my attention. I didn't know that the LM EAGLE of Apollo 11 carried a piece of wood from the original 1903 Wright Flyer A of Kittyhawk.
What a melodramatic way of showing two pioneering feat of aviation history!
Looking forward for your next posting!
👍👍♥️👍👍Thank you again for another great video. These two amazing ships facing each other is the way it should be. Two great ladies who served their country well.
I was here last month. You gotta see it for yourself! Cheers from New Zealand
A very touching video. So much symbolism in it, it really gets one's attention.
Awesome!! I find your videos so educational. I'd love to go see some of the places you've seen.
Hello, How old are you ? Where you from ?? Nice 😊 meeting you xx 😘 😊
I was there last November. It was a monumental experience for me. To stand on that spot, where a global war came to a close and in the harbor where it began for the United States...an experience I will never forget.
Your videos are fabulous, so interesting and informative. Thank you.
🙏🏼
So very interesting and amazing to be in such a historical site. I’m jealous. Great video!
Thanks! Glad to share the experience.
I’ve watched a lot of your videos now and it’s nice being able to connect with you on the Hawaii sites since I have been to all the ones you’ve posted on. While serving in Hawaii I had the privilege of reenlisting in the army on the deck of this ship. We had a gentleman who told us about the history of it and it was fascinating. I can’t retain information like I used to but I do recall a story about three generations that were on the deck at the signing of those surrender documents and one actually passed within a few days of that. The story of the several pens MacArthur used to sign it is pretty interesting too.
So good JD! What I wouldn’t give to have one of those pens 🖊 eh? What a great episode 👏👏👏👏👏
That would be something else.
JD.... Again thank you for taking us on this historic place and event. I know that I will never make it to Pearl Harbor on my own. Because of your visit and expert reporting, I now feel as if I have been there. Thank you for taking your viewers on this journey.
Glad to share the experience. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I always learn so much from watching.
Time off the Cuzin Eddie !🥰
This history channel is the best on the net, I enjoy and watch daily for new videos
Thanks!
These are great videos, thanks
Gary !👋
Love it man,love history and it’s great your going over some of this cause I don’t think I’ll ever get there to see 🇺🇸Pear Harbor 🇺🇸 ! I did see in the late 90’s the Missouri come through Oregon just before Seattle , Tacoma , California and other states and close to waterways cities to help pay for and preserve the Missouri when it was on its way to Hawaii to be restored then put on display for people to come see in Pearl Harbor ! It was big turn out to see it and in so it wasn’t even possible to go to see the surrender deck of the ship let alone the bow or stern ! How I was at least lucky enough to go with my father and one of my best friends Glen Kinsman to see it in all its glory and battle wounds ! On and in and around the ship ! You do great Vlogumentaries ( my inventive word lol ) thanks for the insite on Pearl Harbor and the many humanitarian things you and your family do ! 🇺🇸😎👍🏻🦅🇺🇸
Thanks for the kind words. I really do appreciate that.
Thanks JD what a incredible video and greetings from England 🏴🏴
I've had the privilege of being aboard USS Missouri twice, once in Pearl Harbor and when I was young in Bremerton where it was in mothballs at the time. Thanks for the video.
Nice! Thank you.
Thank you. I have really enjoyed your series in Hawaii. Its my lifelong dream to visit Pearl Harbor
Thanks! It’s an amazing place.
Very well done and certainly very moving.
🙏🏼
