U.S., Japan offer respect to USS Arizona in Blackened Canteen ceremony

U.S. and Japanese Airmen join Dr. Hiroya Sugano in pouring bourbon whiskey over the USS Arizona Memorial at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Dec. 6, 2016, from a blackened canteen that flew aboard a B-29 Superfortress that crashed in Japan during WWII. Every year, Sugano brings the canteen from Japan to perform this highly respectful reconciliatory gesture towards those lost 75 years ago during the attacks on Pearl Harbor and Oahu.
