The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, is a floating memorial built over the sunken battleship USS Arizona, honoring the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed during the December 7, 1941 attack that brought the U.S. into World War II. Accessible only by boat from the visitor center, it's a solemn site featuring the sunken hull, a shrine room with engraved names, and commemorates the immense sacrifice of that day. #pearlharborattack #pearlharbor #today #now #usnavy #usveterans #ussailors #r
