USS Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor

December 7th, 1941 is the "day of infamy" in the US history to describe in the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor is the defining moment for the US to join the second world war. USS Arizona memorial was built on the sunken hull of the battleship without touching it. You can still see the oil seepage from the ship after 60 years.

If you have a little knowledge of the second world war and the sacrifices (remember Sullivan brothers?) made by the US, you get a feeling that is totally beyond the reach of words when you visit USS Arizona memorial. Here are some of the pictures of USS Arizona Memorial!
