About Pearl Harbor and USS Arizona Memorial

Pearl Harbor and USS Arizona Memorial undoubtedly is one of the significant World War II sites that we currently have, And Hawaii's Pearl Harbor showcases several such attractions that takes us back to the time when several lost their lives to Japans's most destructive bombings. It is built over a sunken battleship in the memory of those who lost their lives but is now a resting place for many of the 1,177 crewmen killed on December 7, 1941. 

As you come here you will be guided on a tour which will take you through the entire Memorial like the Arizona Memorial where you will get to see the sunken battleship, then the National Park Services which will give you the history behind the actual Pearl Harbor, finally comes the Museum where you can see a dramatic collection of World War II- War books, souvenirs, which includes U.S. flags flown on the USS Arizona Memorial.
