Journal Day Three - Tuesday April 1
Today was marked by a memorable visit to Pearl Harbor. The band started by visiting the USS Bowfin, a World War II submarine dubbed "The Pearl Harbor Avenger". The band then performed and visited the USS Arizonia memorial.
A long time ranger at the Memorial made a very pleasing comment about the kids., She said that in all the years she had worked here, our kids were the most reverent, reflecting, and peaceful she had seen. She said she could have heard a pin drop at the Memorial because they were so quiet and respectful.
