Approaching the USS Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbour
27 August 2008

The Memorial marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors killed on the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

The memorial was dedicated in 1962 and is visited by more than one million people annually, and it spans the sunken hull of the battleship without touching it.

To the Memory of the Gallant Men here entombed.

The survivors can choose to be interred with their shipmates.

Looking out over the Wreckage.




I was there a few years ago...very moving.
