I just started reading a book about this. I do not remember that day because I was born the following fall.
Thank you for posting this remembrance observation. Good man. It has become less and less remembered/observed every year. I purposely didn't post anything about it yesterday just to see if anyone else would remember! There is a sailor from my hometown that is still on the Arizona. Marines guard the entrances to Pearl Harbor. Supposedly, some japanese tourists asked where they could find the Arizona memorial. The marine told them "Right where you SOB's left it". This story was probably already old when I heard about it in the 70's when I was there.
