While in Honolulu we went to see Pearl Harbor. More than one million people visit this floating monument every year. They ferry small boats of people out to the site that sits on top of the USS Arizona, one of four ships sunk by the Japanese on December 7, 1941.
Our visit was an eerie experience. A few pieces of the battle-scarred ship are above water and you can see streaks of oil as it slowly leaks out of the seventy year old tomb.
The wall inside the 184 foot memorial lists the 1,102 soldiers who lost their lives that December day.
