DENVER — A piece of history from the attacks on Pearl Harbor now has a new home in Aurora. On Tuesday morning, a United Airlines flight arrived to Denver International Airport from Hawaii with a steel piece of the USS Arizona on-board, symbolically bringing Coloradans lost in Pearl Harbor home.
The United flight arrived to a water cannon salute and once parked at the gate, a service member draped a flag on the brown colored crate. Soon after, service members lifted the crate off of the pallet and it was gently placed into a black SUV. The eventual home of the steel relic will be at the Colorado Freedom Memorial Center in Aurora, but it will remain in storage until construction at the site is complete, according to the memorial leaders.
