I attended the service this morning at the memorial, and as usual, it was a moving experience.  Weather was perfect.  Kind of hampered by lack of a sound system (someone told me it would cost $800 for one), however.  I could hear most of it.  As an extra touch, there were 2 members of the USS Indianapolis sea rescue team.  Captain ____ (I didn't get his name), the former Captain of the USS Indianapolis nuclear submarine, gave a moving tribute.  He attends every reunion, and always will. 

Lots of news coverage.  The survivors' buses were escorted in by  a group of veterans on motorcycles, flying large American flags.  Bagpipers marched in first.  The Navy Hymn was sung.

I am glad I went.  Sadly, only about 20 survivors were in attendance.
