Battleship Missouri Memorial, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
The Battleship Missouri, the last American battleship, is remembered as the site where World War II formally ended with the signing of the "Instrument of Surrender" by Japan and the Allied nations on September 2, 1945 in Tokyo Bay.
Together with the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, the "Mighty Mo" continues to serve our nation proudly with pride and appreciation for our nation's legacy, instilling aware ness and understanding of the lessons of war and peace forever symbolizing the beginning and ending of World War II.
Thank you for preserving history for the many generations to see in the future.
Love these magnets, gave them as gifts from Pearl Harbor. We visited the island in October 2024 and I wanted to pay my respects to my Great Uncle at Pearl Harbor 🙏. We can never thank you enough to all the men and women that serve today and in the past. Especially to the many fallen soldiers, that have given the ultimate price for our freedoms today. RIP 🙏

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.
This is our second purchase, it was raised over the USS Arizona in honor of a family member that served in WWII. It will fly over the farmstead where he raised his family.
