Pearl Harbor Memorial

This one came from the men who were there. In 1985 the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association—Utahns who had lived through the morning of December 7, 1941—placed their own memorial in Memory Grove, resuming the park's long habit of letting each generation of veterans mark its war in this canyon. By then the survivors were old men, and the gesture has the weight of people building a marker they knew they would not always be around to explain. It sits among the grove's other war memorials, one attack remembered by its witnesses.
