At the center, hangs an American Flag that was previously flown over the U.S.S. Arizona. The U.S.S. Arizona is a battleship that was sunk in Pearl Harbor. The U.S.S. Arizona Memorial was built in 1962 on top of (but not touching) the sunken Battleship. The Arizona was bombed on December 7, 1941, about 15 minutes into the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, killing 1,177 sailors and Marines on board. Today she rests where she fell, just off the coast of Ford Island. The memorial honors the memory of the crew of the U.S.S. Arizona, as well as all the other service members and civilians who died during the attack. A total of 2,335 sailors, soldiers, and Marines died as a result of the attack, as well as 68 civilians.

Replicas of the significant founding documents of our country were hung.  The Declaration of Independence, United States Constitution, and Bill of Rights are on display for all to read.  In the near future, some artwork, U.S. Military seals, and Utah National Guard patches will be added.
