The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor is "ground zero" where World War II began for the United States. The event where Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto stated: "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant..."
The USS Arizona serves as the final resting place for many of the battleship's 1,177 crew members who lost their lives on December 7, 1941.
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."
- General George S. Patton, Jr
Thomas Jefferson: “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”
Pray today for our honored dead who gave their most precious possessions, their lives, for our country and our freedom. And pray even more fervently for those men and women who are risking their lives for us today.
