Annual Pearl Harbor Day On Oahu
84TH ANNIVERSARY – 2025
Veterans Joining Their Shipmates
In 2019, a survivor from the ship was interned in the ship with his shipmates, and his name was placed on the wall at the Memorial. Just before sunset, Navy divers, along with divers from the Wounded Warriors program and park service personnel, placed the remains of the sailor into the sunken hull of Arizona. Other remaining survivors have indicated that they wish to be buried in their family plots.
Only a few who were there that day can still attend the Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day ceremonies.
