The majority of visitors are Americans who served in the Pacific or who had family that did. My Uncle was in the Navy and served on Guam right after it was liberated. The other big contingent was Japanese tourist.<br /><br />Now they had these big 50 caliber machine guns on a post like on McHale's Navy had on it's PT boats. So I tell the wife to get her camera ready. I see this Japanese family standing at the rail. I say hell and ask if I can take a photo. They say sure. I say "Smile" and point the machine gun at them.<br /><br />It is one of my favorite photos.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-26900013609470319102014-05-23T12:02:51.097-04:002014-05-23T12:02:51.097-04:00The had a bunch of food that was appropriate for t...The had a bunch of food that was appropriate for the 1940's when the ship was in it's glory.<br /><br />As I recall they had chipped beef on toast.

The 911 memorial should study how they do it and copy it as best they can.<br /><br />There are plenty of places to eat just steps away from Ground Zero. Not to mention that there will be restaurants and food courts in the new buildings at the site for the workers and businesses who rent there. So there is no need for a concession stand.<br /><br />It ain't the fuckin' Cineplex in the Roosevelt Field mall.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-2088674026357511152014-05-23T10:23:19.930-04:002014-05-23T10:23:19.930-04:00Now as for the topic of this thread vis a vis Alth...Now as for the topic of this thread vis a vis Althouse....<br /><br />Meh. Do. Not. Care. <br /><br />On point, I live encircled by 40,000 Arab Muslims and they do not reflect the opinions of shithead outfits like CAIR et al ad nauseum. They are fully aware, and several have expressed regret even now years later, of just who caused 9/11 in '01 and in '12. The thing to remember is that those who seek to sanitize the memorial from any reference to Islam are doing so to serve those they represent. I'll leave that to you to connect the dots...but I will tell you, from daily experience, that vast majority do not serve the same masters. In time I hope they will crush the noise makers. <br /><br />It's not about healing or not, regarding Althouse, and Meade in particular, like who cares? It is recalling the hypocrisy and mendacious behavior. I include Meade's periodic visits here, rarely on topic and he rarely reads what a commenter has said before he fires of a snarky bit. <br /><br />You recall I am a "preening poser" for my stances on horses, right. Spent my life with them, nursed several to health when ill or injured, and have clearly said, repeatedly in that thread, that I object to the youth of race horses and their early starts. Never-the-less Meade implied caring and staying involved was preening and posing...e.g., he never read a word I said. He doesn't like me perhaps and if so the feeling is mutual plus ten.<br /><br />I recall his antics on this site early on and how he attacked people personally and vindictively. We'd been effectively shut out of Althouse and the time, and some of us choose not to go back. The wonder is why does Meade come here to comment? I'd suggest any "healing" shortfall is in his, and his wife's, court, not ours. I simply no longer care what Ann or Meade say on any topic. I still have my emails thanking me and saying how I was appreciated....but now I file those under the folder "Con Jobs."Aridoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345930150667529742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-46186555959960221072014-05-23T10:07:28.438-04:002014-05-23T10:07:28.438-04:00@Ari: On point and sufficient.
