In commemoration of the 68th anniversary of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, a U.S. Army retiree and military model-making enthusiast will donate a model of the battleship USS Arizona (BB-39) in a presentation to Aiea Public Library on Monday at 4 p.m. in the Reading Room.

The event is free and open to the public.

Roy Baker, an Aiea resident, became interested in model-making and studying about the war with Japan when he was 12 years old. He will share some historical information and stories about the Pennsylvania-class battleship of the U.S. Navy that served with distinction from 1916 until Dec. 7, 1941, when it was sunk by a surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and led to the loss of 1,177 crewmen. The event brought about U.S. involvement in World War II.

The model replica of the USS Arizona battleship will be showcased in a glass
container and can be viewed during regular library hours.
