| A visit to this National Monument is a must when you are in Honolulu. No fee is charged but it is wise to make your reservations online, which does cost $1.50 per reservation. Go early! and beat the crowds! This is one of the most visited national places. |

| After a short film detailing the events leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, you board a vessel commanded by US Navy personnel. You take the short ride to the memorial. It is somber as you approach. |

 |
| Below you is the burial site of many |
 |
| You can see many parts of the USS Arizona above the water as well as below |
 |
| And above this sacred area, we proudly salute the United States flag |
