The image on this magnet is taken from a recruiting poster by James Montgomery Flagg which was printed in 1917 as the United States entered World War I. It depicts the world famous image of "Uncle Sam".
Because of its overwhelming popularity, the image was later adapted for use in World War II.
Magnet measures approximately 2 1/2" across x 3 1/2" tall.
Would never purchase this again. It's very small, came tarnished....not worth it. The gift store use to have the large silver Remember Pearl Harbor pin, but this is not worth the money.
Would send it back but would cost so much to ship....If I had seen this in the gift shop, I would not give it a second look. Very dissapointing.....
Extremely easy to do, people were very friendly over the phone. Website was very easy to use. Was able to input the name of the service member retiring. I was able to choose the date. It was flown and also had a ship directly. Certificate of authenticity and date flown was Beautifully done.
During the early 80s, my brother and I spent one week “volunteering” (doing maintenance work at the Protestant church) in Kalaupapa. We had no idea at that time that this would prove to be one of life’s most meaningful experiences, providing us with so much more than we could possibly return. I happened upon this beautiful book by searching for the obituary of a resident who became a friend, and discovered he was featured here. In addition to being an accurate portrayal of a controversial history, this book contains personal accounts of the lives of many residents (some of whom we were privileged to meet and spend time) shared through thoughtful interviews and stunning photographs. Words cannot adequately express my humble gratitude for this important work. Mahalo to the authors for shining a brilliant beam of light on the resilient and incredibly generous people of Kalaupapa.
We saw the puzzle in the store at Pearl Harbor, but didn't want to have to keep up with it or try to fit it in our suitcases, so we ordered it online. It beat us home! Can't wait to put it together.
