4th of July - Ceremony on the USS Missouri

Over to the Mighty Mo for a Navy sponsored ceremony on the aft deck with fireworks from Pearl Harbor and Hickam to follow.

The ceremony was conducted by some very well known host (I had no idea who he was) and some choral group from Honolulu. To be honest, it was awful - dreadful music and depressing.

Once the show was over the Navy Band kicked things in with the songs you're supposed to hear on the 4th and the fireworks started.
