Visiting the USS Arizona Memorial

How many of you have ever visited Hawaii? My husband and I have been fortunate to have visited that beautiful state twice and are currently planning our third trip for next year.

If you ever get the chance to visit we highly recommend that you stop by Pearl Harbor and check out the USS Arizona Memorial. This place is an incredibly humbling experience.

The memorial was set up to honor the men and service women who lost their lives on December 7th, 1941…when our country was brutally attacked.

As you stand in front of the memorial wall that lists all of their names it brings tears to your eyes to see how many lives were lost. It’s an experience that has forever changed our lives and one that we will never forget.

There are tons of web sites online that you can check out to learn more about the USS Arizona Memorial but today I wanted to feature this one photo that we took as our “Almost” Wordless Wednesday post for this week. Enjoy!
