Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor is the memorial site for U.S. servicemen, who lost their lives during a surprise attack by the Japanese Imperial Forces on December 7, 1941.

There you can find an on-site museum. The visitor center also offers a film-footage of the attack. There is also a shuttle ferry that can bring you to the Arizona Memorial which straddles the sunken USS Arizona.

I have seen on television some American Veterans chose to go back and stay at Pearl Harbor to guide visitors voluntarily. What’s interesting is that visitors can hear the real stories behind all the displays from a live person who witnessed and experienced that fateful and historic event. Now that's a real bonus!
