"A Day that will Live in Infamy" This is not to be missed. I highly recommend getting there very early and being on the first boat to the USS Arizona. It is a memorial and has more impact if you are there while there are no crowds and it is quiet.

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
