Pearl Harbor: Texas/Hawaii Vacation - Day 13 

The red and green herbs comment at the upgrade bench made me laugh 😆

While Elvis Presley was in town to make a movie, there was the plan to build the Arizona Memorial. He wanted to help so badly that he asked his manager, Col Tom Parker that he wanted to do a fundraising concert. His concert in 1961 at Bloch Arena (at Pearl Harbor) raised the first $5k to start the process.

I know these are posted a few days behind, but nice to see things are turning around for you. Looking forward to what you guys manage to find in the final stretch. Personally I'm hoping for Kualoa Ranch or Polynesian Cultural Center... but I'd settle for at least seeing you guys find a decent restaurant.

I can imagine the feel of Pearl Harbor very well. In school here in germany, we went to the KZ Buchenwald. Places like that, were horrible stuff happened, have definitely a certain feel to it, that you will never forget.

Pearl Harbor is certainly a somber place. If you liked that sort of naval military history, if you ever end up going to Baltimore (or D.C. and taking a day trip to Baltimore), the Inner Harbor has the USCG Lightship and the USS Torsk along with a (granted going off of decade-old memories) excellent naval museum. Also a very good aquarium.

Learnt something new today. Very informative

Lovely Pearl Harbor footage Preach and family. Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Dave the diver OST, nice choice 🦈

That submarine is awesome! I'd have loved to have done that as a kid. Like, its one thing to know about the cramped conditions inside a submarine, its another thing completely to have stood there in person.

its a lot of death to take in all at once

As born/raised local Hawaiian, have only visited Pearl Harbor (Pu'uloa in Hawaiian)...3x, the last time +/-25 yrs(?)...if that. When you realize the historical importance of What happened & What the memorial represents...it's an Ominnous, Somber, Sobering revelation!-IMO anyway. At the memorial are 1177 sailors btwn 17-25 y/o...(officers were >35 y/o +)....that Never saw the light of the next day & who Never made it home....😢😢😢

Once again glad things are looking up! Good times with family!

"You are now the better child" :D:D

ALOHA & MAHALO🤙

Ha, I strated saying "mine mine mine" and literally 1 sec later it started in the video.

Jewelry store for a submarine museum is apt, you never know when you are struck with a pin-hole leak after you accidentally hijack a nuclear sub during war games and only your disobedient son's earring can plug it.

I understand how military stuff can feel silly. I think for us in the U.S. the monarchy stuff can feel silly as well. I've read up on Pearl Harbor, the issue is there was a lot going on in the world and definitely in Japan at the time. Most of us view WW2 specifically through a lens of Germany's politics and are not encourage or taught to read up on what some other countries may have been doing at the same time (their objectives, political beliefs, etc).

Whats the music from you used for the footage towards the end?

"Imagine how loud this place is" well Emma not very seeing sound is death for subs :p. I can also feel Mikes pain on the sub as someone a tad more than 6 feet i do not want to ever be on an active sub XD. Also man the Arizona is just haunting thinking about. Most the sailors dead in their sleep and now forever watched over by the Mighty Mo where the war ended.

Nice $20 breakfast you've got there, sure would be a shame if something happened to it.

The lesson of Pearl Harbor...America REALLY does not like it when you touch their boats.

10:23 😂

You were mentioning in a previous video you don’t see much culture and you proceed to go look at the palace but don’t take a tour. It was so beautiful and eye opening honestly.

@10:41 The way he boiled down most americans current living situation to 9 words.

How long is mike on vacation for?

+1 upgrade, lol classic

BEX 😂

Thank you for the respect for our downfallen.

Sub are not noice if you are submerge they have electric engines are design to be stealthy and being noice that i aint it

i'm sorry what kind of people willingly sit in the front row at a cinema, disgusting!

Ah the infamous "we sank 3 boats and they dropped the sun on us TWICE" place of origination. In all seriousness though, it's a really cool memorial. I love museums and all that shit. Glad yall are having a good vacation.

what you're going to do for the next few days... I got told off by ​@phase_1471 for not acknowledging that you guys were going snorkeling somewhere on another day and that that kid's pool-lagoon was just for snorkel practice? Shark cove, electric beach are two snorkeling spots that come to mind. But you do have to rent a car. There is a bus that goes there but it has a very limited schedule :(. Glad you had a fun day! Can't wait for the next video

Odd choice of music for the Memorial segment

I'm not sure if this is the conspiracy about Pearl Harbor that Mike was talking about, but if you're interested, here's what was talked about when I was growing up in the States: The US government knew before the attack on Pearl Harbor that Japan was going to attack, and let it happen rather than try to intercept the attack/inform the people stationed at Pearl Harbor. There's anecdotal evidence that the US moved their very important carriers out of Pearl Harbor days before the attack so they wouldn't be damaged in the process. The US wanted this to happen because they wanted to galvanize America to enter WW2, and felt they needed to be attacked for the people to accept the wartime effort. The heavy US sanctions on oil for Japan effectively forced the Japanese hands to act. By forcing Japan to attack, the US could declare war on Japan in return, which due to the Axis treaty between Germany/Italy/Japan, would force Germany and Italy to declare war on the US as well, which brought US troops into Europe after being attacked by Japan from Asia.

Just enjoy your family, you don't need to post this shit every day, really.
