From nps.gov National Memorial Pearl Harbor
December 7, 2020
This years Pearl Harbor Day Commemoration's theme, Above and Beyond the Call, represents a milestone of its own, as the first December 7 commemoration to follow the nationwide commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII. This year’s ceremony will focus on Battlefield O`ahu. Though the Japanese Empire focused on the destruction of the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, the attack encompassed the entire island with assaults on Army and Marine aviation bases as well as civilian facilities.

The experiences of the soldiers, Marines, Coast Guardsmen and sailors defending O`ahu, as well as the civilians caught in the crossfire, would exemplify courage under fire and perseverance. Their spirit at the beginning of the long crucible of war would frame the template for the securing of victory and peace.

This years event will will be held on December 7th at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and will encompass the service and sacrifice traditionally commemorated in multiple ceremonies and sites the week of December 7th. In order to protect our Pearl Harbor Survivors and World War II Veterans in attendance this years ceremony will be closed to the public. This event will be live streamed for public viewing via our page and www.pearlharborevents.com.

Hawaii Island's active volcano, Kilauea, had been erupting nearly continuously for 35 years. Called the "drive-in volcano" for its unique accessibility within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Kilauea has been a fairly predictable phenomenon, although geologists knew that eventually this would change,...

Growing up in Hawaii we are taught from our kupuna, from our elders, what our kuleana is, and when it's time to step up and take care of our responsibilities, and that time is now, especially with ...
