MEMORIAL EXPERIENCE

A weekend trip to the USS Arizona Memorial at age 10 left a lasting impression. The journey across choppy waters to the site created a sense of anticipation. Upon entering, the cool air and stability of the structure stood in stark contrast to the surrounding movement, leaving a profound impact. The work of Architect Alfred Pries and the creation of the memorial continues to inspire deeper learning and reflection. Revisiting the site would offer another chance to pay tribute to the fallen patriots it memorializes.
