- The USS ARIZONA MARINE REMEMBRANCE, on Halawa Landing, Pearl Harbor, was dedicated in 2005 by Gen Michael Hagee, then Commandant of the Marine Corps, along with Col Jack Earle, the senior surviving Marine of the USS ARIZONA Marine Detachment. Then Capt Earle, had just taken command of the MarDet on 6 December 1941, only hours before that infamous attack. Gen Peter Pace, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff is a strong advocate of keeping it in place.
- This seven ton commerative flag base and display had the names of all 88 Marines that served then, of which 73 are still eternally entombed aboard the USS ARIZONA. It is very professionally done and I will supply photos on request should you desire them.
