Attack on Pearl Harbor. December 7, 1941. |
The memorial structure was constructed in 1962 and spans the sunken hull of the Arizona. The design, with two peaks on either end and a sloped center, is said to reflect the United States before, during, and after the war. The significance of what happened here is still palpable. The Arizona wreckage continues to leak fuel into the harbor, known as the "tears of the Arizona". You can see the oil slick from the viewing platform as well as a few of the rusting pieces of the ship above the water. Even after all of these decades the site remains a powerful symbol.
