Ep. 03 - Message in a Bottle: The Patanela
A message in a bottle has been utilized for centuries by sailors, for all sorts of reasons. Some as distress signals, others just for the fun of who might find them.
I think all of us at some point in our childhood dreamed of finding a washed up bottle with a treasure map crammed tightly inside.
But on New Years Eve of 2007, one would wash up and immediately question everything we thought we knew.

Ep. 05 - 80th Anniversary: USS Arizona
Anniversaries. Important dates that we celebrate or commemorate in our lives. Usually, moments of happiness that we look back on as the years have passed by. These special dates marked on our calendars each year bring back memories like flicking through an old photo album.
They remind us to cherish these memories as time continues to moves along. Every year seeming to come quicker, as if time is some how speeding up.
We remember all of the ups and downs as each year passes while new memories are made and logged away.
That is the case for most anniversaries that we celebrate, such as the marriage to a spouse, another trip around the sun, or just a simple special event that has taken place in our lives.
These events are important to us. So we mark them off on the calendar each year in anticipation.
Other anniversaries though, may be a bit more bleak. Not all bring back joyous memories of times past. Such as the loss of a loved one, or an event that shook us to our core that we can’t help but forget.
And for millions of Americans this year on December 7th, those memories will return. It will be the 80th year since the attack on the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor.
