[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1117390, member: 9789"] The Arizona Memorial is extremely special. I made 3 attempts to visit it before we actually were able to get there. Twice it was closed and once it was Veteran's Day and I new we had no chance in hell of getting in. We had a 7 hour layover going to Maui so we took a bus from the airport, was able to get on a shuttle to the actual memorial and get back to the airport in time to make the flight. I will never forget this experience and will make the attempt to get back there again. I have been to Arlington, Kennedy's grave when it was fresh and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Riverside National Cemetery BUT Pearl Harbor is slightly ranked higher than seeing Kennedy's grave before the permanent memorial tomb was built. I will have to find a picture and post it at some later date.
