Admission includedStanding at Pearl Harbor National Memorial, the harbor stretches out quiet and blue around you, its stillness carrying the weight of December 7, 1941. Oil still seeps slowly to the surface above the sunken USS Arizona, a reminder that this is both a memorial and an active burial site.
