The University dedicated the USS Arizona Mall Memorial in 2016 to honor the sacrifices of the soldiers, and others, killed during the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The memorial traces a full-scale outline of the ship's deck and includes a brick plaza with panels and bronze medallions displaying the name, rank and home state of each of the 1,177 sailors and Marines who died on the ship.
