On Memorial Day we remember those who gave their lives to preserve our liberty.
Hawaii for Visitors has a page on war memorials in Hawaii; they all are on Oahu.
One of my favorite places in the world is National Memorial Cemetary of the Pacific in the center of Honolulu, Hawaii. It is known as The Punchbowl for its unique shape: it is a volcano crater of just the right size.
The photos: Aerial view by Hawaii Visitors.
The central structure of the cemetary: on the sides are the names of men and a few women who died in the Pacific whose remains were never found. Along its top are a series of panels that tell the story of the Pacific War with maps done as beautiful mosaics. Photos from a defunct site called The World Tourist.
