The Mighty Mo' was in dry dock for several weeks and after its grand unveiling, military could come aboard for free.... after our self- guided mini-tour, I asked myself why didn't we visit a few years ago. $15 a person is nothing compared to what those men sacrificed for us. It was beautiful....I showed the girls the wooden deck. We talked about the spot where a Kamikaze Japanese plane crashed into that deck. We were in awe of the exact spot the Japanese surrendered and ended World War Two. We looked over the graves of several other ships including the USS Arizona, USS West Virginia, USS Tennessee, and the USS Vespa.
As I explained in our family blog, I was amazed at the peace aboard this ship. It's not the quiet peace you get at the Arizona, but the powerful peace you get when a nation surrenders.... the MIGHTINESS kind of peace that only the Mighty Mo' can only give you!
Next time we take Daddy!
