Sunday- Pearl Harbor

Sunday was spent at Pearl Harbor, visiting the USS Arizona. It was an amazing site! The memorial is a burial ground for over 900 of the 1,177 men who lost their lives on the USS Arizona. The memorial crosses over the hull of the Battleship. There are two buoys on either side of the memorial that show the bow and stern of the ship. In the back of the Memorial there is a marble wall that lists all the men who died. There are a few parts of the ship visible above water and even some visible just below the water's surface. You can even still see oil leaking from the ship.
