The U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in Honolulu, was something very moving about this place. Just a deep felt sense of awe and sadness about it.
Visiting the USS Arizona memorial. While it is closed to board due to structural issues, they do an excellent job of ensuring the visit is still a very memorable one. No cost to head out to the memorial!
