AURORA, Co. (August 28, 2023) Sailors from Navy Reserve Command, Denver, carry the crate's cover built by the U.S. Navy Seabees for transport. The crate holds a piece of steel from the USS Arizona (BB-39) and was transported to Denver, Co., courtesy of United Airlines. When completed, the steel will be permanently housed at the Colorado Freedom Memorial facility. There are 32 Coloradans remains on the USS Arizona, with a total of 41 from Colorado killed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. For these fallen heroes, this will likely be the closest to a dignified transfer they will ever receive.
Navy Recruiting Command consists of a command headquarters, two Navy Recruiting Regions, and 26 Navy Talent Acquisition Groups that serve more than 815 recruiting stations worldwide. Their combined goal is to attract the highest quality candidates to assure the ongoing success of America’s Navy. (U.S. Navy photo by Public Affairs Specialist Matthew Wheeler/Released)
