Pearl Harbor/USS Arizona Memorial

The USS Arizona Memorial is the final resting place for many of the battleship's 1,177 crew members who lost their lives on December 7, 1941. The 184-foot-long Memorial structure spanning the mid-portion of the sunken battleship consists of three main sections: the entry and assembly rooms (flag picture); a central area designed for ceremonies and general observation; and the shrine room, where the names of those killed on the battleship Arizona are engraved on the marble wall. The Memorial commemorates the site where World War II began for the United States. The United States entered into World War II with the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan.

Let us all remember the tragic loss of those who gave their lives in WWII and say a prayer for our service men and women who now protect and serve our country.
