I was very impressed by the memorial and by the staff. Explanations were thorough, facilities were immaculate, and the memorial was breathtaking. I am fortunate to have been able to visit it. I think it is a wonderful thing that there are no admission fees- as this assures accessibility to all. Thank you.

Thank you for allowing us to visit. We are a group of 13 from Australia and I think we all have a greater understanding of the sacrifices of so many.

My husband and I came to your memorial on our Remembrance Day (Canada). We both knew that our visit would affect us both, but we were surprised by how much our emotions were affected. Being a naturally emotional person, I was moved to tears by the orientation film, and was physically moved at the resting place of the Arizona. I can't put into words the feelings I felt while looking at this immortal tomb, but for sure I'll never soon forget it. Thank you soo much for this moving tribute to the brave fallen!!

As an ex-British serviceman (31 years service in the British Army) this visit for both myself and my wife was quite awe-inspiring. Well worth the long flight etc. from the U.K.- Many thanks.
