USS Arizona Memorial Traveler Pin

Approximately 2,400 military personnel and civilians were killed during the Japanese attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on Dec. 7, 1941. Nearly half that number died on one ship when the USS Arizona was struck by bombs and sent to the bottom. More than 900 sailors and Marines remain entombed in the sunken warship, which now lies below the USS Arizona Memorial, part of today’s World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument.
