This updated exhibit focuses on the personal stories of local soldiers who fought during the attacks on Pearl Harbor and the surrounding island. The tragic loss of the USS Arizona symbolizes the destruction of the Japanese surprise attack. Tragically, over 1,100 men were lost in the sinking, 33 from Alabama. Two of the lost included 24-year-old Seaman 2nd Class W. Francis Roberts, of Oxford, and 18-year-old Seaman 2nd Class Frank W. Hindman, of Piedmont.

​

Seaman 2nd Class George W. Ingram of Eastaboga was one of the first casualties, killed at Kaneohe Naval Air Station. Ingram was among the first to rush into action, and was later commended by Admiral Nimitz, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet. Appropriately, in 1943, an American destroyer was named in his honor.

​

The Berman Museum re-opened the exhibit on July 12, 2018, by having George Murray, survivor of both the Pearl Harbor attack and the Battle of the Bulge, cut the ribbon. Families of the other Calhoun County heroes were also present.
