National Park Service USS Arizona (Pearl Harbor) Memorial, Pearl Harbor Hawaii.



The National Park Service administered a park dedicated to the history of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 as the USS Arizona Memorial. The memorial dedicated specifically to the USS Arizona is featured elsewhere on this blog, so this part of that memorial, which lies across from Ford Island in site of the USS Arizona memorial, is featured here.

The Park Service site covers more than just the Arizona and is dedicated to the memory of every American, including civilians, who died in the December 7 attack. The portion of the memorial featured above lists everyone outside of those who died on the USS Arizona and USS Oklahoma, which have separate memorials, as noted elsewhere on this blog.
