"So as we look at the majestic ARIZONA Memorial, we remember that this is the final resting place of more than 1,100 Sailors and Marines who made the ultimate sacrifice. They are the guardian angels of our nation, and here, they will never be forgotten. Today and for every tomorrow, we owe a debt to the men and women who gave their full measure of devotion on<br />
December 7th and throughout World War II - time will not dim the glory of their deeds and the legacy they left behind." <br />
