Arizona Memorial replica

Last of the can art display from the mall. Here's a replica of the Arizona Memorial. My favorite! Somewhat easy to stack yet nice touch with the soft curving of the top edges. And a nod for the best use of bottled water. I had to laugh recently - friends were visiting last week and went to Pearl Harbor. They asked about Noel's various jobs as a Marine and whether or not he ever drove the boat that ferries visitors over to the Memorial. No, he wore a lot of hats as a JAG, but never that one!
In a related note, read in the paper over the weekend that the Arizona Memorial Visitor's Center was hosting a special 45 minute preview of Ken Burns' latest PBS project, "America's Best Idea." (Hours and hours - in HD - on the history and geography of the national parks? I can barely breathe thinking about it!) Wasn't able to make it to the sneak peek, but I'm anxiously awaiting the series starting next Monday. They aired a shorter preview on the local PBS station two weeks ago and it looks amazing.
