The USS Arizona Memorial is a historic site located in Honolulu, Hawaii. It is a tribute to the sailors and Marines who lost their lives during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The memorial is built over the remains of the USS Arizona, which was sunk during the attack and still lies at the bottom of the harbor.
The memorial is accessible only by boat, and visitors are taken on a short ride across the harbor to the site. The memorial itself is a simple structure that spans the sunken hull of the USS Arizona. The design is meant to evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, and visitors are encouraged to reflect on the sacrifice of those who lost their lives.
Inside the memorial, visitors can view a wall of names that lists all the sailors and Marines who died on the USS Arizona. There is also a small museum that provides more information about the attack on Pearl Harbor and the events that led up to it.
The USS Arizona Memorial is a popular tourist destination, and visitors are advised to arrive early to secure a spot on the boat ride. The site is open daily, except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Admission is free, but donations are accepted to help maintain the memorial and support educational programs.
