Those Who Gave Their Lives

The names of the 1177 men who gave their lives and sank with the USS Arizona during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 are inscribed on a wall inside the USS Arizona Memorial built directly atop the sunken warship itself. The sheer force of the number of names was overwhelming (I couldn't even get all of the names in frame). Every etched line in the stone was a life that was taken away.
