gun barrels from the Arizona and Missouri
Another great moment in historic preservation; dedicated on 12-7-13 and not mentioned by the media or our government. Notice the date of the setting of the barrels, the anniversary of Pearl Harbor

Re: gun barrels from the Arizona and Missouri
I was just wondering if I could get hold of one of them for a 'wildcat' project I've been thinkin' on...

Wow! What a deal. And to think that didn't make any of the news that I see, while great gobs of trivia got repeated ad nauseum.

I always wanted a turret of 16" 50-caliber guns, mounted on a barbette, in my front yard, to deal with, or ward off pesky salesmen, etc..

I sent my buddy in Tucson your link and he replied that it was news to him and he reads the paper every morning.
He visited me recently and we spent a day aboard the Wisconsin BB64 a Iowa class Battleship.
My father toured the South Pacific for three years aboard the BB56 .
Thanks for the heads -up

John,
Thank you very much for that post. I'm sure we all have the same feelings when we see this memorial come together.
