Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial

The day before leaving Hawaii, Noah and I visited the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.



The memorial sits above the sunken USS Arizona. Parts of the Arizona's gun turrets and smoke stacks rise above the water and the ship itself is easily visible, resting just below the water.





1,177 men lost their lives when the Arizona exploded and sank during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
