Tucson Chapter 106 Vietnam Veterans of America
Yesterday, 3:19 PM
The USS Arizona Memorial Dedication at the University of Arizona Mall will take place this coming Sunday, December 4th at 1500, on the Mall. This is the 75th Anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, during which the USS Arizona was sunk, taking with her, 1,177 Sailors and Marines.
Let’s try to make as good a showing as we can with as many members in uniform as possible. I don’t have any information on the parking in the area. There is also a special collections exhibit of artifacts from the Arizona at the U of A library that will be open from 1330-1430 on Sunday.
For those of you that are unaware, the Arizona Memorial is a low wall that stretches the dimensions of the ships main deck (approx. 600’) that has been built on the Mall. Along this wall, brass tokens are inlaid that have been inscribed with the names of each of the sailors and marines killed on that day.
Let us show our Honor and Respect for our fallen.
