Visiting the USS Arizona Memorial {Pearl Harbor}

I’m a big proponent of incorporating history with travel. We had the opportunity to visit the USS Arizona Memorial. Certainly a solemn event, it was a profound experience seeing what I’d only read about in the history books come to life.

[@user-zq4zi3dy3c]

I have been there. Such a solemn place. Knowing that sailors are there below me who sacrificed their lives to protect me was awe inspiring.

[@cliffnelson1174]

Hopefully it inspired Patriotism as well...

[@ccramit]

To think, there are still sailors entombed down there. From a soldier, rest easy, sailors.

My great uncle was one of the many on that ship 🫡🇺🇸

God bless all who perished on this day December 7 in 1941. From a friend in Dublin Ireland

[@Goofyyoutuber6]

Tips for people: Remember, the soldiers are (as normal) very serious, do not anger them. Also, you can put flowers into the water from either the middle area shown, or the 2 windows (there's 7 on each side.)

Went there for the first time, and I did not expect to shed tears

I feel you brother I went this year I completely was like a baby and I remember give a speech telling them that life was not in Vain that we got revenge for them and we’re so proud of them for giving the ultimate sacrifice of losing your life so that I n everY United States of America people can have a free life thank you and I will always be grateful for my army Marines and navy seals also are infantry and last but not least. Our great Air Force who won this day showed why they were the best brunch in America God bless America and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we can leave freely

To have the USS Missouri, the ship the peace treaty was signed on, resting by the USS Arizona, that ship who’s explosion sparked a war, is kinda symbolic.

[@ethanfreitas918]

Respect for the 1,700 people who died on the uss Arizona RIP 😢🥺🥺

[@FamilyTravelAdventuresLLC]

Thank you! On the tour, we learned 2,390 American service members were killed in the attack, 1,177 of which died on the USS Arizona. If you get the chance to visit, I highly recommend it.

I was so emotional I can just here there crys and screams when I was giving my respects rest in piece to the brave soldiers that died that day and I give my thanks to all

[@Mrhistory7026]

The USS Arizona was one of the biggest ships in the Hawaii naval fleet and on December 7, 1941 it was taken down by Japanese fighter planes

[@67icebowl]

Actually, hit by several bombs, one of which exploded in a powder magazine. Not fighters.

Fun fact: my great grandfather fought in Pearl Harbor and was one of the few men that survived.

[@sassyfras4085]

Wow! That's pretty amazing you related to someone that experienced it. I'm leaving for Hawaii in a few hours. And I definitely planned to see this. I got tears in my eyes looking at these videos.

[@Tarheel13]

Fun fact? I see no fun in thst

[@redt7452]

RIP Donald Stratton. His book “All the Gallant Men” was about him on board the Arizona during Pearl Harbor. From a fellow navy vet, RIP sir 🇺🇸

[@eltonjohnson1724]

I have been there. I went in 2016. What is amazing and very sobering is that there is oil still rising up from the ship!

[@Speedunleashedd]

Dang water is going down lil by lil last time I went there in 2002 and you can barely see those metal parts

[@razorback4953]

Saw it while on my honeymoon in 1970. Seeing the oil still seeping to the top was eerie. In 1970 there would only let us take pictures in certain places on the way to the memorial. I never understood what that was all about but of course, I obeyed.

[@mateuszhernik7636]

Respect from Poland. We good feeling war.

December 7th, 1942. A day that will go down in infamy.

[@Queen_banana1983]

I can’t believe they never got the soilders out !!

[@arkwill14]

Sailors. And why? Most of the remains were incinerated within a completely devastated hulk that sat underwater for 4 years before any resources would have been available to undertake an effort. There probably wasn't anything left to recover which was worth the risk and effort it would take. Better to let them remain together within their revered tomb.

[@Queen_banana1983]

@@arkwill14 what I mean is why not rescue the soilders when they were alive ?

[@arkwill14]

@@Queen_banana1983 I'm pretty sure any sailor that was alive and could be rescued after the ship sank actually _was_ rescued. But the vast vast majority of sailors and marines who died on the Arizona were killed instantly when the forward magazine exploded.

[@stupidanimator0924]

Sad thing is, its polluting the water and leaks oil

[@tomlienert882]

Unfortunately, due to bomb damage to both the fuel bunker and the ships hull, along with the nature of the fuel oil, draining the bunker, without creating an instant major ecological disaster, is still not likely.
