Pearl Harbor

The Pearl Harbor Museum and Memorial is one of our national treasures – a reminder of all the freedoms we have to be thankful for.

The Pearl Harbor Memorial Fund is trying to protect the history of the Memorial. The current Museum and Visitor Center is quickly (and very sadly) deteriorating. It is not expected to last beyond 4-9 years. If you have not yet had a chance to explore the various areas of their site, I highly encourage you to do so, as there are many interesting and important sections to explore.

For more on how you can support the museum and memorial visit http://www.pearlharbormemorial.com

 

Whenever there was a need, Bob Hope was there. Thanks to him, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have had their spirits lifted. Visit the Taffy III tribute and learn how you can be a part of this tribute.

Taffy III Monuments

Under the command of RADM C.A.F. Sprague US Seventh Fleet Task Unit 77.4.3, known as Taffy III, consisted of 6 escort carriers, 3 destroyers, and 4 destroyer escorts. The escort carrier USS Gambier Bay was part of this unit. View monuments to Taffy III and those who gave their lives serving in Taffy III.
