I consider myself very fortunate that I was able to see the USS Arizona in Hawaii back in 2004. Structural damage has closed the memorial to the public indefinitely.
May we remember, even though the memorial is inaccessible.
You may do whatever you'd like with snowflakes and/or owls you make from this pattern, but you may not sell or republish the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!
