A wonderful collage of these still touching memorials of both the USS Arizona and Missouri, Lyn.
Thanks for the link too.

PS:
some additional information:
The USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor is a marble memorial over the sunken battleship USS Arizona, which was dedicated on May 30, 1962 ("Memorial Day"), in honor of the 1,177 crew members who were killed. The memorial remembers all military personnel who were killed in the Pearl Harbor attack.

The USS Missouri was towed across the eastern Pacific, and docked at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor on 22 June, 1998 just 500 yds (460 m) from the Arizona Memorial. Less than a year later, on 29 January 1999, Missouri was opened as a museum operated by the MMA (USS Missouri Memorial Association of Honolulu, Hawaii).
On 14 October 2009, Missouri was moved from her berthing station on Battleship Row to a drydock at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard to undergo a three-month overhaul. The work included installing a new anti-corrosion system, repainting the hull, and upgrading the internal mechanisms. Drydock workers reported that the ship was leaking at some points on the starboard side. The repairs were completed the first week of January 2010 and the ship was returned to her berthing station on Battleship Row on 7 January 2010. The ship's grand reopening occurred on 30 January.

My cousins name is on a plaque there Lyn - my great uncle found it when he visited in the 1970's - he was always considered MIA - but that has since been changed. This is a very nice collage.

This is an outstanding selection and variety of styles of images, Lyn, giving us a real sense of being there. The tasteful and respectful way you've displayed it is something that a lot of Americans should emulate, those who view conflict as not much more than an annoying interruption of their Facebook usage. As a veteran myself, I appreciate this. I love the photos but have only one suggestion, from a graphic design standpoint; when framing a collage of images that includes a title, at the top or bottom of the group, you might want to expand the color field just a little to provide the title with the same space given to the photographs. Here the title is rather pinched in between the white borders. Just a thought. Definitely a favorite for me.
