After 15+ trips to Hawaii, I finally got the nerve to fly to Oahu and visit the Arizona Memorial. Very moving and somber experience for the whole family. Will not be much longer until there are no Pearl Harbor survivors to help out with the tours. Spent about three hours at the memorial and not once did I see either of my kids even look at their cellphone except for photos.

I went there when I was a kid living in Hawaii with my parents in the late 1960's. It is an experience you will never forget.

Take a drive down to Washington DC and check out the Vietnam Memorial and Arlington Cemetary---they both really put things in to perspective.
I would also love to see the Arizona Memorial some day.

ever noticed how most memorials rise toward the heavens, but the Vietnam Memorial resembles a scar on the earth....

Will never forget sitting at the memorial, reading through all the names of those who perished while "taps" was bugled in the distance. Sent a chill down the spine.
Can still see drops of oil rising to the surface from the rusting ship after all these years. One of the survivors called these "The Tears of the Arizona".
He believes that they will only stop when the last survivor has past away and joined his shipmates.

Before going......read these reviews.
Most mention arriving EARLY!!
That's all I've ever heard is long waits.........my daughter lives there and they go early and do OK.
It's definitely worth your time to go.
