From the Salt River tourism website:
OVERVIEW:
Throughout history the contribution of
American service men and women to
our country’s safety and peace has been
immeasurable. For those who sacrificed
for their country both in WWII and other
U.S. conflicts, their service and dedication
should never be forgotten. This memorial
is in their honor. At the USS Arizona
Memorial Gardens at Salt River, guests
will be immersed in the history of the
USS Arizona, recount a detailed timeline
of the attack on Pearl Harbor and read
accounts of survivors. They will also
see, up close and personal, a piece of
the USS Arizona and the devastation of
December 7, 1941 on its walls.
