Pearl Harbor

USS Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Hawaii.

I thought this was a fitting image given that today is the 70th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Even though you know what you are going to see when you visit Pearl Harbor and the U.S.S Arizona memorial, and you can prepare yourself mentally – it is still a very somber and moving experience. We don’t want to ever forget the people who have fought for and sacrificed so much for our freedom.

The Park Service recently spent $58 million dollars to reconstruct the visitor center and museum – the exhibits and videos are extremely well done and educational. Any visit to Honolulu should include Pearl Harbor.
