The USS Arizona Memorial in Honolulu, Hawaii, marks the resting place of fallen sailors and stands as a powerful tribute to the events of December 7, 1941.
Arrive early at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, as free boat tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and can run out by midmorning.
Bring a valid photo ID, as it is required to board the Navy shuttle boat that carries visitors to the memorial.
Wear respectful, modest clothing and keep your voice low once aboard the memorial structure, in keeping with its designation as an active military cemetery.
Pair your visit with the nearby Battleship Missouri Memorial, where Japan's formal surrender was signed, to experience the full arc of the Pacific War.
