I liked my last picture better.
Though that boom ship is probably less maintenance.

Yeah, but you can use the noisemakers on the BB without making quite so much of a mess

Thank you for sharing. There was a similar scene in the documentary "Carrier" that was really moving. There were a lot of young adults on that ship with various troubles of their own that grew up a lot on the cruise, and think seeing the Arizona was a big part in that maturing.


For those that have never been to see the Arizona memorial...its one of the most somber and moving experiences you'll ever experience. Smelling the oil in the air as it continues to slowly leak out of the hull almost transports you back in time to the hours and days after the attack, when the air was likely thick with similar smells.

I was Manning the Rails when she pulled into Hawaii as we passed the memorial. Very moving and sobering moment.I didn't fully understand the full meaning back when I was 19.

I just found out about this thread and found some pictures of Old Glory in my picture collection.
Some of them have already been posted on INGO but I thought I would still share them in this thread.
All pictures taken by me so no hot babes in bikini (sorry Act).

Sylvain, you're more American than most Americans are. Or at least more patriotic

Ah, yeah my passport says im 0% American.

All the flags pictures are taken in Normandy btw, we probably have more US flag flying than some US states or territories.

On our beaches, cemeteries, war memorial, musems, displayed by private individuals in their yards or on their vehicles etc ...I

Given you have a "Scooter" in your avatar, I'm assuming there is more to the story in that sequence of pictures?
