Lest we forget
A sacred site to Americans, the USS Arizona Memorial marks the final resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and marines aboard the eponymous battleship sunk during the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941. Among the tributes to the fallen at the memorial, which takes the form of a floating bridge above the wreck, are displays of artefacts such as the ship’s bell and exhibits about “the day that will live in infamy”. The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center makes about 3,000 first-come, first served tickets available online daily.
