Stunning simplicity! What a wonderful way to remember the 977 crew members of the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor! This is a picture taken from the launch as we returned to the visitors' center on Pearl Harbor. There was nothing added that was not needed to make this a fitting tribute to Navy and Marine personnel on board when a Japanese bomb tore through the ship's deck into the hold where all the
ammunition was stored.
For me this has been a very special visit. My father was assigned here very shortly after the bombing of the harbor.
