Salute to pearl harbor

Traveling across the harbor by shuttle boat, and then standing in reflection on the USS Arizona Memorial, you pause in tribute to those who lost their lives that day. This graceful monument built over the remains of the sunken ship provides a moving balance of life and death, as you spot green sea turtles and colorful fish swimming in the active reef around the Arizona, even as it serves to memorialize those entombed below. A movie, a boat trip across the harbor, and perhaps a chance to meet a survivor of the attack complete your morning at the Memorial. You'll arrive full of anticipation at one of Oahu's most famous destinations. You feel the site's power as you enter the new Pacific Historic Parks Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Here you revisit the past through never- before-seen artifacts, replicas and media displays that explain the events and details of the day leading up to and following Pearl Harbor.
