The USS Arizona Memorial is a solemn tribute located in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. It honors the 1,177 crew members who lost their lives during the surprise attack on December 7, 1941, which led the United States to enter World War II. The memorial is built over the sunken battleship USS Arizona, which still rests at the bottom of the harbor. Visitors to the memorial can learn about the events of that day through exhibits and guided tours. The structure features a white, minimalist design that symbolizes peace and remembrance, allowing guests to reflect on the sacrifices made during the war.
