<strong>USS</strong> ARIZONA MEMORIAL<br />

Alfred Preis designed the <strong>Memorial</strong>. It is a place for people to<br />

have their own thoughts and feelings about the history behind<br />

the December 7th attack. There are three parts to the <strong>Memorial</strong>:<br />

the Flag Room holds the state flags representing the eight<br />

battleships attacked and the service flags for each of the armed<br />

forces; the Assembly Room straddles the wreckage where<br />

visitors can view the sunken <strong>USS</strong> <strong>Arizona</strong>; and the Shrine<br />

Room holds the names the fallen <strong>USS</strong> <strong>Arizona</strong> crew, many<br />

still entombed inside the ship. The structure sags in the center<br />

to signify initial defeat and stands strong at both ends to express<br />

ultimate victory. The holes in the shrine room form the “tree of<br />

life” to let sunlight shine on the names of those who died with<br />

the <strong>USS</strong> <strong>Arizona</strong>.<br />
