About the Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is prominently featured at the WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument. A universal symbol of renewal and peace, the Tree of Life is displayed on both sides of the USS Arizona Memorial and allows the natural light into the Shrine Room. There is also a forty-foot Tree of Life monument located in front of the two Pearl Harbor Visitor Center museums.
Purchased this book when we visited the USS Arizona Memorial. This account of the attack on Oahu on 12.7.41 will keep you turning pages! If you purchase one book about this pivotal moment in history, make this the one!
Wonderful & fascinating to see the entire newspaper from the day you were born. A great present,
for a 50th anniversary, for instance.
Unfortunately, either I or the provider mistyped, and the paper I got was year off, one year after my
birth. Since it was for a timed project, too late to get it remedied.
What a powerful reminder that so many wonderful women went to work in factories to help the war effort. This country must value women and pay them their worth.
Found some information i was looking for, but not all i wanted. Some crew members from USS Raleigh CL-7 tied up at F-12 near Utah were detailed to aid in rescues of crew-members of capsized Utah. My mother had said her brother Lansing Sharp, a Fireman Water Tender was among those who worked on Utah attempting recovery of those lost until December 25. However is name was not listed in the names of Raleigh crew on page 29 which only speaks of day 1, December 7th. According to family stories the work continued for days after.
This book is a treasure trove of real life information about a little recognized part of the attack and should be read by those interested in real stories about December 7th.
My son had ordered which he presented to me last week. The flag was raised over the Arizona on June 6th. Yes, I was born 80 years earlier on June the 6th, 1944 so that flag has a lot of meaning to me. Having been born on D-Day has always great meaning to me and I will treasure this flag for the rest of my life.
