Explore the Battleship Missouri Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
A visit to Pearl Harbor evokes memories of how many first learned about the small group of islands located in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. It is here, almost 70 years ago, that World War II commenced for the United States. On the fateful morning of December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, along with many other Hawaiian military installations. This event remains a critical part of American history.
