WORLD WAR II VALOR IN THE PACIFIC NATIONAL MONUMENT
This Virtual Cache was placed with the help and permission of the National Park Service.
On December 7th 1941 the attack on Pearl Harbor thrust America into the war in the Pacific. Many great people have spoken about the attack on Pearl Harbor. None better than President Franklin D. Roosevelt who addressed the world with "a date which will live in infamy" the day after the attack.
Words fail me when I try to take in the enormous event that happened that day not just in the loss of life but how it changed the world. I hope that you take the time to visit the Galleries: "Road to War" and "Attack", Pearl Harbor Memorial Theater, USS Missouri Battleship, USS Bowfin Submarine Museum, and Pacific Aviation Museum among other attractions. Maybe these can replace my words.
To log a find answer me these questions three. There are no fees to find these answers.
- In the Pearl Harbor Overlook/Contemplation Circle.
There are four plaques with a quote on each.
Give me either the quote or the author of your favorite.
- In the remembrance circle, there is a 3-D map of O'ahu listing points of reference during World War II.
What is #10? I promise the answer is there
The USS Parche in undergoing renovations. Until they are finished you can skip questions 3.
At the USS Parche SS-384 conning tower using periscope no. 1 PERIS CKT- K1PE. The answer is NOT on the USS Bowfin. --
If L|P=500 then H|P =?
