My second time visiting the Pearl Habour, USS Arizona Memorial was equally powerful and emotional as the first time I was there in 2014. The memorial is to honour the crewmen who fought and went down with the Arizona battleship which was attacked and sunk by the imperial Japanese Navy in the surprise attack on December 7, 1941. When I was on the memorial, my mood was somber and I immediately found myself speechless. All I could do was to soak in the quiet atmosphere of the sacred place. I thought deep about the message this place had brought to me as an individual: to treasure the people who we love. The aroma of the oil also caught my attention. The sunken battleship still leaks oil to-day. Visitors can see the oil sheen visible on the surface of the water. The oil is also widely regarded as the “Black Tear” or the “Tear of the Arizona”. From the windows visitors can also see the USS Missouri which is where the Japanese signed the treaty of surrender, ending the World War II. The Missouri’s bow is facing the Arizona, and this depicts that Missouri is now guarding the lost souls and remains of the Arizona so they can Rest In Peace. The end section of the Memorial is a Marble shrine wall with all the names of the crewmen who died on board the Arizona. The inscription says: “To the memory of the gallant men here entombed and their shipmates who gave their lives in action on 7 December 1941, on the U.S.S Arizona”.
