President Obama, Commander Harris, ladies and gentlemen, and all American citizens: I stand here at Pearl Harbor as the Prime Minister of Japan.

Together, with President Obama, I paid a visit to that memorial, the resting place for many souls. It's a place which brought utter silence to me. Inscribed there are the names of the servicemen who lost their lives. Sailors and Marines hailing from California and New York, Michigan and Texas, and various other places, serving to uphold their noble duty of protecting the homeland they loved, lost their lives amidst searing flames that day, when aerial bombing tore the USS Arizona in two.

A. Discovers that the names of those who perished there are too difficult to say
B. Is strongly moved by thinking about the lives and dreams of those who perished there
C. Finds the quiet inside the memorial in contrast to the sound of the wind and waves outside
D. Tries to imagine the conversations of those who served there but is unabale to do so.

Someone please help! Ty.
