It has been 66 years since 429 brave Americans died aboard the USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor. Sixty-six years, and yet to this very day, those of us who survived the attack can still smell the oil burning on the water, hear the explosions and the cries of our shipmates, and then the quiet tapping sounds as we tried to cut through the ship to save those who were trapped inside. A few were saved, but others drowned before they could be rescued.
