We parked near the Clinton Library and decided to take a stroll, not really sure what to…read moreexpect--but the Clinton Presidential Park Bridge ended up being one of those quiet gems that sneaks up on you. What used to be an old railroad bridge has been given a second life, now standing proudly as a pedestrian walkway stretching over the Arkansas River. As we walked across, the breeze picked up just enough to keep the July heat from being unbearable. The view of the Little Rock skyline on one side and the riverbanks stretching out on the other made it worth the steps. It was calm, wide open, and gave us time to slow down and just enjoy where we were. The kids ran ahead, pretending they were on some kind of adventure, and we just soaked in the peace. It's not flashy or loud, but it has that thoughtful kind of presence--like it knows it's not the main event, but it still wants to make the moment better. If you're visiting the library, make the time to walk it. Bridges don't usually make memories--but this one just might.

The memorial features a Mark 14 torpedo surrounded by granite tablets. One marker gives a brief summary of the submarines career. Another provides information on the submarines lost and presumed final area. A third panel list the crew members names that lost their lives. The other markers are more generic to the United States Submarine Veterans of World War II and not specific to the Snook and include a panel that lists all the submarines lost during WWII, including the Snook, A summary of the accomplishments of American submarines during World War II. and a brief summary of total crewman aboard American submarines that died during World War II. The memorial is dedicated to one of the 52 US submarines that were lost during the World War II, the USS Snook (SS-279). Each state has at least one memorial for a specific submarine that was lost. The memorial was commissioned by the Arkansas Diamond Chapter of the United States Submarine Veterans of World War II. The Snook was last heard from on April 8, 1945, in the South China Sea. After over a month of no communication, the sub was declared overdue and presumed lost with all hands-on May 16, 1945. This is a nice memorial that is fittingly located across from the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum which features the submarine USS Razorback (SS-394). I like the ambitious project that this memorial is a part of and anyone that follows me know I am partial to paying respect to those heroes that served. Anyway, as with most memorials that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. The nearby Riverwalk Park and the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum would be a great start.
