National Pearl
Harbor Remembrance Day, 2008
I visited Hawaii in 2005 and had
the honor of visiting Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona.
Here is a collection of photos I took that day.
Pearl Harbor
USS Arizona
The memorial was built in
1961 as a tribute to all the men and women who lost their lives on that
historic day. The memorial is 184-feet long and carefully crosses over
the Arizona's mid-section. Openings along the both sides of the
memorial afford a dramatic view of the ship resting on the floor of the
harbor. A marble-walled chapel at the far end of the memorial lists the
names off all the sailors entombed here.
When visiting Pearl
Harbor it is a must to visit the USS Arizona Memorial. Built
in 1961, it is a tribute to all the men and women who lost their lives
on taht day in history. The memorial itself is 184 feet long
and crosses over the mid-section of the Arizona. Openings on
both sides allow for a dramatic view of the ship resting on the floor
of the harbor. A chapel at the far end with a marble wall
with the engraved list of names of all the sailors entombed here. There
is also a list of survivors who have had their remains interred with
their shipmates.

Bob,
Pearl Harbor needs to be remembered, and this is the anniversary of that attack. Thanks for the very well done tribute. :)
