"Remembering the USS Arizona: A Legacy of Valor and Sacrifice" In 1941, the Battleship USS Arizona (BB-39) met its tragic fate during the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor. As it sank beneath the waves, it became a symbol of resilience and courage in the face of adversity. Decades earlier, in 1880, the USS Arizona faced another perilous encounter when it collided with an iceberg. This incident showcased not only the ship's strength but also highlighted the unpredictable nature of life at sea. Fast forward to present times, where a Navy seaman briefs U. S. Secretary of State John Kerry and U. S. Navy Admiral Samuel Locklear at this hallowed site. Their presence serves as a reminder that history must never be forgotten and that we owe our freedom to those who made ultimate sacrifices. Today, remnants of the USS Arizona continue to impact our world. Five quarts of oil leak daily from its remains—a poignant reminder that even in stillness, this vessel continues to tell its story. Standing tall beside the memorial to this fallen battleship is none other than another iconic ship—the USS Missouri—where World War II came to an end with an armistice signing. Together they represent both tragedy and triumph; reminding us that from darkness can emerge light. U. S Secretary of State John Kerry pays his respects by looking at names inscribed on a wall within this sacred space—an act honoring all Navy veterans who served bravely aboard these vessels throughout history. With solemnity etched upon his face, Secretary Kerry lays a wreath at the memorial site—a gesture conveying gratitude for those lost while reaffirming America's commitment to peace and unity. As he stands alongside U. S Navy Admiral Samuel Locklear—Commander of America's naval forces—they embody strength forged through shared experiences and unwavering dedication towards safeguarding our nation's values. Together they honor heroes past while embracing the responsibility of shaping a brighter future.
