my dear father in law now in his last months of life was almost signed up to serve on the Arizona just weeks before the tragic day. Fortunately for him he served on a tender and a tin can and saw action elsewhere

The USS Arizona continued to blaze long after the attack was over.

MEMORIAL TO THE U.S.S. ARIZONA
Beneath the waves, upon the sands,
down fathoms in the deep,
sunken men, in silent ships,
find refuge fast asleep,
exempted from
the challenge of,
victory or defeat ...
where flesh and steel rest as one,
beyond the reaches of conceit.
Beneath a mirror of twinkling light,
upon a brilliant sea,
gallant men in stalwart ships,
on a voyage not to be,
wait at their posts, in eternal patience,
without anxiety;
In a world of liquid echos and muted hostility,
where a delicate lace of ocean life
adorns the mighty guns
and consumes their awesome appearance
in the filtered light of the sun.

A MESSAGE TO THE VISITOR
The sacrifice of death cannot be sealed into antiquity by the date on a calendar, for it is ongoing, passing through all generations on its way to the end of time!
Please remember that as the last visitor leaves the memorial at the end of this day, over eleven hundred men must remain behind to sacrifice yet another evening, having made but one more days payment to eternity!
They ask for nothing but your remembrance from their place of silence beneath the waves, as darkness again falls over them, their dreams and their ship!

It's amazing that the destruction of the Arizona was caught on film. Gives me shivers every time I see it, and to think of all those brave men dying in the opening minutes of America's entry into WW II.

Our teacher showed our class never before seen photos of Pearl Harbor. He found them on a camera in his attic. There is a picture of a Zero strafing people. And a different angle of the Arizona exploding..
