Pearl Harbor, as we all know is a big part of America's history, as well as the world's. It is now a beautiful memorial site that is a must-see for all visitors to Hawaii. A place that once landed in the hands of destruction and death.. is also a place where great heroism took place.
It was pretty cool to visit the site I've only learned and written papers about in my History class. (Yay for History 12!) We actually met some survivors and witnesses as well, and managed to hear them share about that unfortunate day in history. Definitely a wonderful way to learn more about WWII in the Pacific and to remember and honor those who served during that war.
Some tips! Reserve tickets online to make your life a little easier. Or head there a little earlier to reserve them as they only give out a certain number of entry passes per day. Leave your bags in the car or not bring them at all as they're quite strict with what you bring in. Cameras and small clutches are permitted. I would highly recommend this stop during your trip! A great learning experience. Definitely one to remember. Up next.. my favorite beach snaps!
