The attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 by the Empire of Japan forever changed the United States of America. The surprise attack and enormous loss of life galvanized and united our country to "Remember Pearl Harbor" as a rallying cry.

WHY A USS OKLAHOMA MEMORIAL?
Among the many ships in Pearl Harbor that day were nine battleships (Arizona, California. Maryland, Oklahoma, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia) where many sailors and Marines fought bravely for their very lives.
From the horrific damage done that day only three battleships did not return to action, the USS Arizona where I, 177 men to this day lie entombed and for which a memorial does exist, the USS Utah where 59 men lie entombed and for which a memorial does exists and the USS Oklahoma where 429 men lost their lives (second highest) and for which a memorial does not exist. The eight other battleships in the harbor that day all have memorials. Only the USS Oklahoma has no permanent memorial.:(
The building and dedication of a lasting and fitting USS Oklahoma Memorial on Ford Island (near mooring berths Fox 5/'6) at Pearl Harbor is the sole reason For our efforts.
