When Ryan and I visited the National Archives in Washington, D.C. the item that gave me the chills. was the log book of the USS Nevada. A sign near the display indicated that ever since early sailing days, ships logs are kept every four hours and indicate what has gone on for that period and any important information. This log was open to the page being kept while the ship was being bombed at Pearl Harbor. It gave me chills ! To think that there was an officer whose job it was to record history as it was happening!
In Arizona, of course, we have a memorial to the USS Arizona which was sunk during the attack.
