The waves hit the shore with such force that the island shook and it sounded like a war zone. I also remember watching my friends houses fall into the rillito river while I was there. Fucking epic moment in time and a bittersweet moment in my life.
Thanks for thinking of me... I think that's really cool.
My first time at Pearl, in 2005, they had PH survivors greeting people as they entered. I've got a great pic of me shaking hands with a Veteran. Very humbling experience.
The Royal Hawaiian: each time we've been in Honolulu, my wife has insisted that's our first stop and get a Mai Tai on the patio right by the beach. Diamond Head in the background makes for a nice photo op.
I thought I'd heard the Japanese PM was going to Pearl. Kind of glad he won't be there if that's the case.
As for the endless T & A, I hope your brothers are able to survive!
