Pearl Harbor

Today we traveled to the Pearl Harbor National Memorial where we visited an exhibit on the attack on Pearl Harbor, a video showing, and rode out to experience the Memorial of the USS Arizona.
Here, we learned about one of the most pivotal moments in US History: the attack on Pearl Harbor which resulted in the entry of World War ll. This Memorial commemorates the Attack on Pearl Harbor that killed nearly 2,400 Americans and sank 12 US battleships. The USS Arizona (in which we got to see) is the final resting place of 900 sailors and marines and continues to be for veterans of World War ll if they so wish.
As we visited the day before Memorial Day, I thought this was a very fitting "activity" and sight to experience to celebrate this day and to thank those that fought for our country and our freedom. It is something I will never forget.Read more
