This is a model of the Arizona as it lays in the harbor with the memorial built over it. It is very hard to get a true picture of what you see when you ride the boat to the memorial. Pictures cannot describe the feeling you get when you see the ship laying under the water and bringing to your mind that you are standing over the ship that has become a tomb. Before you go out on the launch there is this museum that you have a chance to go thru and see pictures of the event that took place so many years ago. After the museum you are shown footage of the actual attack on Pearl Harbor which brought tears to your eyes and many memories. My husband and I were six years old when this took place and I vividly remember President Rosevelt addressing the nation that we were at war. The sad thing to remember was that there were 30 pairs of brothers that lost their lives and several fathers and sons. This memorial is truly a wonderful tribute to those who died for our country.
