Pearl Harbor Memorial

Pearl Harbor Memorial
We had a wonderful day going through the Pearl Harbor Memorial for the USS Arizona.  It was a very sombering moment to look down at this ship in the water and know that so many Soldiers and Marines lost their lives in this ship, and to see the oil still seeping out of the tanks is profound.

On one end of the Memorial they have a marble wall etched with all the Sailors and Marines that died this day.
You could look down through an area of the floor and see the ship below.
Here is a picture that I took of the oil seeping out of the ship. 
This is a picture of what is left of one of the turrets. 
Here is the anchor of the USS Arizona.
Just a picture of Mike and the kids on the boat shuttle heading to the Memorial.
