Very worth doing at least once in your lifetime. Very sobering experience that reminds you of the great sacrifices that have been made for this country. Only negative was annoying tourists that can't be bothered to follow rules and show the respect this place deserves. I mean come on, when they say no pictures at certain times, just listen.

This was a massive tick of the list of things to see in Hawaii. The memorial is very respectful of those who lost their lives. The 23 minute movie is a must to see to truly understand the history of this place. Please dont skip visiting this site it will make you stop and think about a time when the world was at war. I pray we never see this happen again. Peace

The wreck is still leaking oil, quite visible from the memorial. These are cal...
