    I'm sure he lived with that every day. How could one forget. Yet he pulled himself up and did the best he could. Sounds like a fine man a true American.

    My Dad was on the USS Tangier, which was tied up by the UTAH. His duty station was up in the radio array. He watched the Arizona go up. He passed in 2007. I miss him.
