USS Arizona Memorial Will Reopen September 1, 2019

[Astro Flyer]

“The USS Arizona Memorial will reopen Sunday, Sept. 1. The National Park Service, in coordination with the United States Navy and contractors, completed the final phase of construction this week. The reopening of the memorial will provide for a safe and enhanced visit to Pearl Harbor, allowing visitors to more closely understand the story and pay their respects to the men aboard the Arizona”.

Excellent! I was a little concerned about it still being closed in January. Thanks for posting.

You’re welcome...the closure lasted much longer than originally anticipated & hopefully it’s a long term repair.

 

My first view view of Pearl Harbor was arriving at dawn on the aircraft carrier USS Midway nearly 30 years after a date which will live in infamy...it’s an image I will never forget. 🇺🇸

That's great news! We'll be there in early October. Thanks!
