Pearl Harbor Memorial
I passed by on the Enterprise during Tiger Cruise 1984. The wreath laying ceremony was something I will always remember.

Really like this one in Treviso, Italy from June this year.
And of course, the one at Omaha Beach from when I was much younger (1975).

These are three of the four monuments on Chaplain's Hill at Arlington National Cemetery. On them are the Names of Chaplains who have died in WW II, Korean War and Vietnam War.

There are so many Memorials of note, first and unquestionably the Tomb of the Unknown. However, there is one memorial in DC which I considered misplaced, as though looked upon as an "afterthought." The Memorial to the Nurses of the Vietnam War. Sadly placed deep in the wood beyond the Vietnam Memorial it is as though someone said "Well I suppose we should remember them!"

To me that Memorial is worthy of repositioning to the front of the Wall, opposite to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Statue. If it were not for those Nurses and the Combat Medics, there are many whom, to this day, would not have survived.

My brother Dave who is in the photo, insisted on finding the Rough Riders memorial at Arlington. He's a huge admirer of Theodore Roosevelt and is currently writing a novel about the Rough Riders
