  • The USS Arizona Memorial
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial (National Park Service Photo by Jayme Pastoric) Today the battle-scarred, submerged remains of the battleship USS Arizona rest on the silt of Pearl Harbor, just as they settled on December 7, 1941. The ship was one of many casualties from the deadly attack by the Japanese on a quiet Sunday that President Franklin Roosevelt called "a date which will live in infamy." The Arizona's burning bridge and listing mast and superstructure were photographed in the aftermath of the Japanese attack, and news of her sinking was emblazoned on the front page of newspapers across the land. The photograph symbolized the destruction of the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the start of a war that was to take many thousands of American lives. Indelibly impressed into the national memory, the image could be recalled by most Americans when they heard the battle cry, "Remember Pearl Harbor." More than a million people visit the USS Arizona Memorial each year. They file quietly through the building and toss flower wreaths and leis into the water. They watch the iridescent slick of oil that still leaks, a drop at a time, from ruptured bunkers after more than 50 years at the bottom of the sea, and they read the names of the dead carved in marble on the Memorial's walls.

  • The Weeping Monument: a Pre and Post Depositional Site
    THE WEEPING MONUMENT: A PRE AND POST DEPOSITIONAL SITE FORMATION STUDY OF THE USS ARIZONA by Valerie Rissel April, 2012 Director of Thesis: Dr. Brad Rodgers Major Department: Program in Maritime History and Archaeology Since its loss on December 7, 1941, the USS Arizona has been slowly leaking over 9 liters of oil per day. This issue has brought about conversations regarding the stability of the wreck, and the possibility of defueling the 500,000 to 600,000 gallons that are likely residing within the wreck. Because of the importance of the wreck site, a decision either way is one which should be carefully researched before any significant changes occur. This research would have to include not only the ship and its deterioration, but also the oil’s effects on the environment. This thesis combines the historical and current data regarding the USS Arizona with case studies of similar situations so a clearer picture of the future of the ship can be obtained.

Joseph, for the record, would you please state your full name, the place and date of birth? Joseph Honish (JH): Joseph Edward Honish, born in Los Angeles, California, September 2, 1920. JP: So you’re born in Los Angeles in 1920. Did your family stay in Los Angeles through your childhood? JH: My mother was from Los Angeles, my father was from Kansas. We were out—they got married in Los Angeles. We stayed out there until the depression came and my dad had three meat markets and he lost ‘em all in Los Angeles. So we had to move back to Kansas and when I got back to Kansas, I was a sophomore in high school. JP: Okay, so you spent most of your, or all of your elementary schooling, grammar schooling in Los Angeles. JH: In Los Angeles, yes. JP: Do you remember which schools you attended? JH: Yes, I attended St. Bridget’s Catholic School up ‘til the eighth grade and then we didn’t have enough money to go into a Catholic high school, so I went to Audubon Junior High School, in Los Angeles.

Copyright © 2017 by the Edina Historical Society. All rights reserved by the Edina Historical Society. PREAMBLE The Edina Veterans Memorial was still a work in progress when “Edina Veterans Memorial – A Companion Reader” was released in 2012. This new account, “Edina Veterans Memorial – A Lasting Tribute”, extends past the celebratory memorial envisioned in 2012, to the lasting memorial that now stands so serenely amidst the trees in Utley Park. EDINA’S LEGACY OF PATRIOTIC SERVICE Patriotic service and community support for men and women in uniform are deeply imbedded into the fabric of Edina’s rich history. Thousands of its citizens have honorably served in the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force or wartime Merchant Marine over the years. They did not do so alone. Behind each son or daughter in uniform were a loving family, caring friends, and a grateful community. Attracted by the excellent schools, parks, and other quality-of-life attributes, many other veterans took up residence – and continue to do so – in Edina after having served. Data derived from the most recent (2010) U.S. Census shows nearly one in seven (13.9%) of Edina’s adult men and women residents at that time had served in the military.
