I bought this pin during my visit to Pearl Harbor in 1998. I know it's hard to see the inscription around the edge, but it says, "USS Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941-1998". Visiting Pearl Harbor is a very powerful experience. If you've never been, you should. It represents one of the most important moments in the history of our country. When I was younger I was really fascinated by the history of this event and I read countless books about it. So getting to actually go visit was a big deal for me. And I love having this pin on my board. It's not only a reminder of my visit, but a reminder of the event.
