This haunting image was made from the submerged deck of the battleship USS Arizona looking upwards towards the structure that memorializes what happened here on December 7, 1941. A date which will live in infamy...
The US National Park Service has a short history of the events leading to the beginning of what we call World War II.
Thank you to all who had their lives taken from them that early Sunday morning. Their supreme sacrifice, and the sacrifices of thousands of others, eventually bore the fruit of peace, for which we are eternally thankful. May they rest in peace, secure in the knowledge that their sacrifice was not in vain.
Aloha!

The beginning of WWII? We were at war for a year already by then. It rather marked the beginning of the end of the war.
