Pearl Harbor National Memorial
Pearl Harbor National Memorial is the official name for the USS Arizona Memorial. As a World War II historical site, we strive to educate visitors about the events that took place here. From children to adults to seniors, we have a range of programs that will teach you about December 7, 1941.
Diamond Head State Monument
Climbing Diamond Head is on the bucket list of many Oahu visitors. It's a fun and relatively easy hike with a fantastic view at the top. The crater is important to both Hawaiian culture and the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Kalaupapa National Historical Park
On the secluded island of Molokai, Hawaii, you'll find the tiny community of Kalaupapa, where family connections are still being made today. When leprosy (Hansen's disease) was introduced to the islands, Kalaupapa became a prison and then a home for those who still remain and remember.
War in the Pacific National Historical Park
War in the Pacific National Historical Park is located in Guam; a U.S island territory in the Western Pacific. It commemorates the bravery and sacrifice of all those who participated in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The park also conserves and interprets a variety amazing resources found on Guam, for all to enjoy. While the park is known for its historical resources, the warm climate, sandy beaches, and turquoise waters beckon visitors and residents to enjoy the island's natural resources.
American Memorial Park
Located on the islands of Saipan, American Memorial Park honors the American and Marianas people who gave their lives during the Marianas Campaign of World War II. At the park, memorials stand in tribute to the courage and sacrifice of the US Servicemen and Chamorro and Carolinian civilians who were killed in the battles between the United States and Japan that took place on Saipan, Tinian, and the Philippine Sea in 1944 a prison and then a home for those who still remain and remember.
