I happened to be in Pearl Harbor a week after the 70th anniversary. My wife is an underwater photographer for the national Park service and I met her there, they were diving on the Arizona. I went to the memorial on the last tour of the day and told the pilot of the boat that I would stay behind and go back with the submerged resource unit. After everyone left I was alone on the platform. It went from being very loud to silence. I stood there and gave thanks to all who sacrificed their lives. It was amazing how peaceful and calm it was but I could not shake the feeling of all that was lost that day. May all who lost their lives rest in peace.

Nice video. Although it would be worth mentioning Elvis Presley's role in seeing that the memorial actually got built! Interest dwindled in the construction of the memorial after an initial push for funding. The project was in need of money for completion. Elvis heard about this and held a benefit concert in Hawaii in March of 1961 raising the money and donating the proceeds which helped in securing the rest of the money needed to build the memorial. A quote from one of the many Associated Press stories outlining Elvis' contributions... "Mr. Presley's roll is significant because it brought renewed interest in finishing the memorial and undoubtedly had an influence on the citizens of the United States and our government."

We are in Hawaii right now and toured the Pearl Harbor exhibit yesterday although the USS Arizona memorial was closed. In one of the walk through exhibits, there was a wall sized photo of some young navy seamen manning a gun turret and what really got to me was they were all baby faced. Every last one of them barely looked old enough to drive. Being a former serviceman myself, I can imagine their excitement for being in such a beautiful tropical environment only to have it go to shit in an instance. On a personal note, my mother in law was born a month early because her mother went into labor (in Hawaii) because of the bombing at Pearl Harbor, Dec. 08, 1941 and was present yesterday and recognized on the boat towards the Arizona.

Meeting and talking to them was a very moving and profound experience.

I've had the good fortune to have visited this memorial twice. Both times it was a very somber visit for me. Navy tradition has it that battleships moored at Pearl Harbor have their bows pointed to the open sea. You may note that the battleship Missouri, upon whose deck the Japanese signed an unconditional surrender, is moored with her bow pointed at the Arizona. The Mighty Mo stands as a silent guard over the Arizona.

There is a ship in the background. What is her name? Is she the Missouri? Those ships are beautiful in their way. It's lucky the great carriers were out to sea during this time. If they were Japan could have taken the islands and we would be screwed. They would have went for the West Coast. The war would have been different. Thank you again. Beautiful video.

The funny thing was that the era of the battleship had already passed by 1941. Aircraft carriers were the new battleships and the attack on Pearl Harbor did not destroy any of the U.S carriers as they were at sea that day. So the Japanese attack spelt doom for the Japanese and in fact achieved very little.

It is sad how the USS Utah is still there as a war grave on the north shore of Ford Island yet nobody ever talks about her. Given that the Navy reactivated the semi-retired ancient battleships Texas, New York, and Arkansas (these were part of the training division for battleship sailors) to replace the lost battleships at Pearl Harbor I believe that if Utah had survived Pearl Harbor unscathed she would have been refitted and brought back to duty as a battleship. She was in great shape and the only reason she converted to a training ship was due to that horrible Washington Naval Treaty.

To walk across the memorial & to see the remains of the USS Arizona down below & the oily stain on the water's surface is a very humbling experiance & a very sad experiance. To walk to the end of the memorial to see all of the names of my fellow US sailors who selflessly gave their lives in honor & bravery before me, inscribed on the huge marbel wall is yet another sadness in itself. To stand there looking at this wall & pay tribute, honor, respect, & to also render a US Military "Salute" to my fellow warriors on both visits is something i will never forget & is forever inscribed in my memory.

We killed them and more but with our superior intelligence apparatus the attack should not have happened. Our government failed us at Pearl and NYC, the results thousands dead and more injured. And unlike WW II that ended with our victory in 4 years on numerous fronts this is still being fought to this day with thousands more dead and injured, shattered lives of thousands of veterans and billions of wasted dollars.

Back in 1979 I was assigned TDY (Temporary Duty) to Pearl's Water Transportation Division. Their jobs included running the 50 ft MWB runs between Merry Point Landing, Ford Island, and Ewa Beach navy housing. An additional job was the operation of the Arizona Memorial Tours as well as the maintenance of the Memorial itself. This was before the National Park Service took over the responsibilities of the Arizona Memorial. My only interaction with the Memorial was the assignment of another sailor and I to row a fiberglass dinghy out to the Memorial one evening after it closed for the day to scrape barnacles off the Memorial's supports that entered the water. For the scraping to be effective, it had to be done at low tide to get the most barnacles visible to visitors. We only were able to get the Ford Island side done before it got too dark to see effectively and it was eerie pushing our dinghy up against the Arizona hulk every time we tried using the scraper. That's my memory of the Arizona Memorial.

Thank you...years ago as a Marine Corps pilot I was given permission to fly over the Arizona. The entire ship is visible just below the surface, which was difficult to look at. The worst thing about the attack was the large number of service men trapped...sentries heard tapping coming from the hulks as late as Christmas day...especially from the Oklahoma.

On the late 50s, my family went to the Arizona interment. This was before they built this memorial. Remember waiting a long time to catch a launch to go to the interment. My father was a Pearl Harbor survivor. He was station next door at Hickham field. To this day, his barracks is still standing as a memorial full of machine gun holes.

I visited the USS Arizona memorial in 1980 as a sailor aboard USS Cleveland LPD-7. My ship came to Pearl Harbor on business. I remember having watch the first day in so I could not go ashore. I was standing on the O-3 level looking at the memorial when one of the tour boats came past. Many of its passengers were waving to me and snapping my picture. As I smiled and waved back to them I could not have been more proud of my being of the same cloth as the fallen heroes of December 7th 1941. Nor could I have been prouder to serve in the US Navy. As for those folks on the tour boat, GOD Bless you for making the long trip to honor our beloved fallen sailors and soldiers. I love you all. I am James Vidas Aviation Boatswains Mate 2nd class from Chicago Il. I was 20 years old then.

Never forget? Honda, Toyota (Toyoda),Suzuki! Names of Japanese generals or admirals who were responsible for killing thousands of US sailors, soldiers and marines. Who used American POW’s as slaves. Most Americans forgot or don’t care. Can’t watch a pro game without seeing Toyota somewhere! Toyoda. The Japanese admiral who was responsible for the kamakazi attacks that killed over 5,000 marines and sailors, and after the war started the Toyota car company. Sorry, I disagree with you. Most Americans don’t care, as they have made Toyota, America’s number 1 car company!

On December 7, 2011 I played trumpet as part of a mass band that performed at Pearl Harbor for the Pearl Harbor survivors. My profile picture was taken on Ford Island just after the performance, the two girls are from the Kilgore Rangerettes. It was a very moving moment in my life to perform for these very special veterans and to actually talk to the people that were there. On display was an actual piece of Arizona which we had he opportunity to touch.

I visited the memorial in 1985. Although I'm not an American (I'm Australian) the first thing I did upon stepping off the boat was remove my hat. I read every name on the wall, then bowed my head and gave these brave Americans a minute's silence, even while people were bustling all around me. I had no relation to any of those names on the wall, but every name had been borne by a human being who had left parents, siblings, loved ones, wives and children to mourn their loss. No matter what nationality they may be, all those who fought and died to free the world from such brutal reigns of terror deserve all the thanks and respect we can give.
