I’m sorry but he is NOT innocent he participated in the murder. he had a knife , he wouldn’t let the victim LEAVE he helped put the body in the trunk he kicked the victims head, cut off his finger and bragged about it with no remorse..do I really need to go on? Although I do understand he might not have actually killed mark I don’t think it’s fair to say he’s “innocent and should be free “
Today Billy Turner was returned to Ardmore, Oklahoma today and finally laid to rest, he died on the Oklahoma! His remains were given a police escort all the way from Dallas to the graveyard in Ardmore. Rest in peace..
You all want to see what happened after the attack (salvage) watch this series (not mine). One of the best I have seen to date on the subject. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bB-V9cCSC8o.html
Thats excellent!!! Glad to see someone still pursuing memorials to WWII and Pearl Harbor/USS Arizona specifically, even as we are losing the last of that amazing generation!!! My father was there, onboard USS California on Dec 7, so I very much appreciate this!! Bravo!!!
DO NOT... refurbish the Arizona gun are you fucking stupid???? Thats the gun that came off the ship and witnessed the attack thats the original paint. You remove that paint and you destroy that history.
That gun was not on USS Arizona during the attack. It was on Arizona from the 1920s to 1938. At the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, the gun was at Dahlgren, VA. where it had been proof fired after being relined. The gun was placed on USS Nevada at her post Pearl Harbor refit, and fired from Nevada during her time in Europe, including the Normandy landings. It was due for relining again when Nevada entered her post-Normandy refit, when it was removed. In that same refit, Arizona’s turret two guns from the wreck were placed on Nevada, and are on her wreck today.
America must never forget Pearl Harbor particularly in 2020 as even today CHINA HAS THE SAME AMBITIONS as Japan had 75 years ago Be Vigilant AMERICA and watch China carefully
Sadly these asshats runnin around these days will see that this is another phenominal monument that will come under attack by unhinged mentally deranged idiots who think they are being persecuted for crimes that happened 160 plus years ago.
I know how strong your family has been through many obstacles over the many years we have been friends. I keep you all in my prayers for good health, faithfulness to the Lord, and your love for family and those who need to know the Lord and how you serve them. Your commitment to the Lord is amazing and shows how God is with you always. I have been praying for you since I first met you and know that God is listening. Patrick, your exemplary behavior through all this can't help but show that you have been made an example by God for your love and faithfulness to him. It is time for the powers of the Lord to show the love you have for each other and mankind need to be released from this ordeal the entire family has gone through. God be with all of you and prayers will continue for your release.

I have know of this for sometime. I believe Patrick needs to come home to his family. The Bearup family have done good work through their ministry. The family ministry would be a good fit for Patrick Bearup. Unlike 99% of Exxon’s that are released do not have a good environment to go to, in turn they reoffend Patrick has a good environment to go to. I pray he is given clemency so Patrick Bearup can go on to doing gods work out into the world. Patrick has dressed all the inmate he has come in contact with. He should be given the chance to bless hundreds of thousands outside the walls of his presence. Free his chains as you will see his potential to brewing more and more to gods word and inspire those to do gods work.
God Bless you, Patrick Bearup. Prayers for your release. You have served more than enough time for a crime you did not commit. Tom & Adele, God is with you..
Because the main 14 in magazine went off which is equivalent to a million pounds of gunpowder and expensives going off that ripped the ship in two. The explosion was so powerful it sent the main mast 30 feet in the air while still connected to the ship. The damage is so bad there was nothing they could do not even to scrap it. Also they had a war to fight and had many other battleships to recover by the time every thing was said and done it was decided to turn her into a memorial.
@@adamtarbaux7769 But they could put sheet piling around the wreck and pump out the box. Then you could strengthen the structure and close holes. But I'm afraid it's too late now.
The ship wasn't 'just' broken or ripped in two, the forward half of the ship from the superstructure forward was mostly demolished. The barbet (foundation structure) of the #1 turret was demolished, the turret itself now rests on debris and the harbor bottom. The barbet of #2 turret was damaged and the turret is still there, minus the roof and guns. The very tops of the turret sides still protrude from the water and are visible.
I am hoping they build this memorial.... ...and I hope, too, that 100 years from now some self-righteous "social-justice-warriors" don't come along & tear it down. Seems to be a trend lately.
Since you can no longer paint a Confederate flag on the roof of your car nor fly the flag in t h e South a d elsewhere This see s the fate of this memorial some time in the future The self righteousness of the snowflake generation love their drugs more than their country
@@michaelnaisbitt1590 The snowflakes are the ones worshipping dead Rebels, who lost the war. Why you want monuments to losers, is beyond rational thought. Thank God Biden won, and we can clear the nation of the in-bred, mind-dead, and other forms of low-life rebels.
My grandfather Herbert Samuel Kennedy was one of the lucky few to survive and be cut out of the USS Oklahoma. He was in the bathroom shaving when the ship was hit and turned over. He served an extended career in the Navy and was the father to 8 children including my dad. God bless these men and this generation... Lord knows we need more like them in this day and age.
How did he deal with the fact that he was one of the few? Did he talk about it? Indeed, this was a great generation put through the test of depression and world war. That's why they were so tough.
My grandma's first cousin, my 3rd, was among the 400 killed in the attack and was an unknown until this year when his remains were identified and returned home in June.
@@jurgenvermeulen5355 Roosevelt died several months before the war ended. Truman was from Missouri, so BB-63 hosted the surrender. I think it would have been fitting if the surrender had been signed aboard either USS Nevada, the oldest battleship to survive Pearl Harbor or USS Enterprise, the single carrier to see the most action during the war.
The correct terminology is U.S Navy as opposed to USS Navy (United States Ship). They are actually gun barrels not rifles or canons. The barrel consists of the inner barrel liner which the actual projectile passes through and the barrel liner has rifling which engages the projectile driving band which spins the projectile to give it inflight stability.
My grandfather was pulled out of boot camp on December 8th. He had been an apprentice Machinist before enlisting. Because he had machinist skills he was graduated from boot and sent to Pearl. He was part of the teams that got the ships fighting again and also part of the teams that built land emplacements for the guns of the Arizona. He said that when they fired the guns on land a small earthquake could be felt around the entire island. The guns were there for perimeter defense and were never fired in anger. The guns of the mighty Arizona were never fired in anger, not on the ship nor mounted on the ground.
Donnie Montoya It could have been mounted. These big guns need to be replaced after just a couple hundred shots, so reusing old barrels with new liners makes a lot of sense economically. I don't think it was present at the surrender ceremony though, considering the ship stayed in service until 1990s and there could have been numerous gun replacements.
I saw a different video of them moving the Missouri's rifle. It was in fact mounted in Turret 2, just above where the signing took place. Since the Missouri has fought in subsequent wars, that barrel had been taken off and replaced and was sitting in a navy yard rusting away.
@@donniemontoya9300 they removed the stern guns. The bow guns are still there because they were to damaged. The bow barrels were used on I think the USS nevada
My step father, Elmer Edward Carl Kirves,, now deceased, was a Chief Gunner's Mate serving on the Oklahoma on Dec. 7, 1941. He was in the shower when the first bombs hit and made it over the side, stark naked, and swam ashore amid heavy strafing--suffering only a strafing wound in his right hand. He completed his time in the Pacific aboard the USS Massachusetts. After 16 years of service, he was denied final extension to complete 20 years of service due to physical ailments. Josh Hartford
There is a new memorial to the Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor near the USS Missouri's birth. You should see if if you get the chance to go there. The man I interviewed for this video passed away last year. His memory of the even was still so vivid after so many years like 911 is for us.
Pearl Harbor was the reason why my grandpa joined the Navy a week after the bombing happened. Obviously, it pissed off pretty much every American and couldn't have been a better motivator to join the military, but my god was he angry with the Japanese. Luckily he said he wasn't shot at once since he was in charge of filling the planes statoined at Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands. One of his Marine Corps. friends grabbed an Arisaka 38 rifle where he fought on Okinawa and was nice enough to give it to him. It's a little unnerving to own a rifle that very well was responsible for killing many Americans but nevertheless it has stayed in the family ever since.
The Red Viper If the Imperial seal is still visible on the Rifle ( as in not been tampered with i.e scratched off) you could make a nice earner. due to the rarity when the Japanese surrendered they removed the imperial seal from every weapon due to the fact they remained loyal to the emperor and would not had his mark to the enemy.
Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu The chrysanthemum seal was not scratched off which is why we wanted to keep it in the family given it's historical significance to still have that intact. I remember going to a gun show in Tulsa a few years back and saw a couple Arisaka 38s all with the seals scratched off selling for around $250 and beat to hell. From what I understand, the ones with the seals still intact and good condition overall go for about twice as much if not a little more. And as much as I would love to fire ours (which I'm sure would probably fire just fine), I'd be devastated if something happened to it to ruin it's value.
The Red Viper No don't use the weapon it's not worth the risk of harming the value if you want to fire the Rifle I would recommend buying a cheap replica
Well, it wasn't the gun that did the killing. My father repaired ships after Pearl Harbor and till the day he died had a distaste for Japanese. I couldn't blame him.
