When we visit Pearl Harbor will the Arizona be open to walk on in March 2022?
Thanks

Hi Elizabeth.
As far as we know, it will be.
Aloha.

Just a correction for your article – The men who died on the USS Arizona during the attack were sailors, not soldiers.

Wait… you aren’t going to book a trip to Honolulu to visit a memorial because a page that you follow had an advertisement that you disagree with? Seems the issue isn’t the page that you follow. The Island AND the Memorial have no responsibility toward the said advertisement. YOU are the only one missing out because of your opposition.

On December 7, 2021, I was lucky enough to be the last tour of the day to the Arizona. While there, preparations were being made for the interment of most likely the last sailor to survive the bombing of the Arizona…Lt. Harvey Milhorn. As our ferry came to retrieve us, it brought his remains on board. A VERY somber affair. As we were leaving we witnessed the divers already in the water.

The people who died on the USS Arizona were sailors, not soldiers.
And yeah, there is a difference.

Thanks Jeffery F for the attempted clarification. What the heck?
On 7 December 1941″ A day that will live in infamy”
There were Soldiers AND Sailors on board and elsewhere. I lost two uncles that day. One was Army, one a Marine
They were Americans you knucklehead.
Thanks for your invaluable comment. Have a spectacular day.
Mahalo Jeff and Rob for the very moving article on a most somber occasion. You’re incredible.
Aloha 🌺

My Dad & his next younger brother were both at Pearl Harbor. They both spent 20 years in the Navy, and passed away within 6 months of each other in 2007. In 2018, one of my Dad’s younger shipmates passed away. He was someone my Dad always talked about. Thanks to the NPS, I was able to contact his daughter and tell her a story about her Dad on that day. She invited us to her Dad’s ash scattering in January, 2019. We keep in touch now, as our bond goes back 80 years, to December 7th, through Dads.

I’d love to be there but it’d be easier landing at Iwo in Feb ’45 than getting into and enjoying that once truly great vacation site.

For the 80th Anniversary, this year the theme is
“Valor Sacrifice and Peace” and not “Above and Beyond the Call”…(that was last year’s).
