The PBY Catalina was an American flying boat and was one of the most widely used seaplanes of World War II. During World War II, PBYs were used in anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, convoy escorts, search and rescue missions (especially air-sea rescue), and cargo transport. The Navy Catalinas that were used in the Pacific against the Japanese for night operations were painted black overall, and as a result were sometimes referred to locally as "Black Cats."
I am completely satisfied with the quality and graphic design on some coffee mugs I recently purchased. When I have my morning coffee the pictures of Pearl Harbor remind me of the great price that was paid for liberties that most people take for granted. Being a veteran and coming from a family with many veterans makes me feel even more honored to live in the U.S. Thank you for keeping the memories of our warriors alive.
I was so excited to gift this ornament to my son this year. Shipping took too long and it arrived with the plastic coating crinkled and there was a hole in the ornament.
I’m collecting shot glasses from the 50 states. I was in Hawaii several years ago and wasn’t collecting them at the time. So I had to order it online and they did not disappoint.
We were planning a trip to Hawaii and came across the Pacific Historic Parks website. I noticed that they offer a flag that will be flown on any day of the year. My Son-In-Law lost his Mother & Aunt in a accident on December 7, 2017. I thought this would be an awesome gift in honor of them. I wrote a letter of the circumstances to let them know why this was such a wonderful opportunity to honor a loved one. We gave the Flag to him on Christmas and it was very emotional. It came with a certificate that stated when it was flown and in honor of his Mom and Aunt's names.
I purchased a flag as a gift for my son who is very patriotic. The Flag was flown over the Arizona on December 7, 2025 and arrived in time for Christmas. Communication with the folks at Pacific Parks was exceptional. I had no doubt that the Flag would arrive in time. Thanks for great customer service.
