Pin #139: Pearl Harbor


I bought this pin during my visit to Pearl Harbor in 1998.  I know it's hard to see the inscription around the edge, but it says, "USS Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941-1998".  Visiting Pearl Harbor is a very powerful experience.  If you've never been, you should.  It represents one of the most important moments in the history of our country.  When I was younger I was really fascinated by the history of this event and I read countless books about it.  So getting to actually go visit was a big deal for me.  And I love having this pin on my board.  It's not only a reminder of my visit, but a reminder of the event.
