December 07 Healing Field at Pearl HarborToday was the 66th anniversary of the attack at Pearl Harbor. We have met a small handful of the survivors here and there. They can tell some very heart-rending accounts of that day. We went today to see the healing field and we met another survivor who came from San Diego to remember and to witness the opening of a new memorial on Ford Island. The healing field is a field of flags in remembrance. Each of the 2500 flags had a purple ribbon to recognize a fallen soldier from the Pearl Harbor Attack. We bought one for a soldier who died on the Arizona. The money raised will support the Arizona Memorial Museum, which is sinking. The field is a baseball field that our new survivor friend used to play on when off duty. We all climbed the bleachers to look out across the sea of red, white, and blue. It was an amazing tribute.
