The Pacific National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific lies on a dead volcano called Punchbowl Crater north of downtown Honolulu, where 48,296 soldiers rest. The Memorial Cemetery has been included in "National Historic Sites and Monuments" to pay tribute to the sacrifices of the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force and their great achievements, as well as to the soldiers killed in the 20th century war, including the Pearl Harbor attack. Medal of Honor winners and other well-known Hawaiian heroes were also buried here, including Ellison Onizuka, Hawaii's first astronaut, and World War II veteran, President Barack Obama's grandfather Stanley Dunham. The names of 18,094 soldiers missing in World War II were inscribed on 10 "Courts of the Missing" on the side of the stairs of the cemetery monument in honor of them. In addition to the tranquil and solemn atmosphere, standing on the edge of Ponchbauer crater, you can also have a panoramic view of Honolululu. Sponsored by Veterans of the American Legion, the Pacific National Memorial Cemetery offers free, detailed walking guides.

    The Pacific Memorial Cemetery is located in the Punchbowl crater, where most of the soldiers who died in the First, World War II, the Pacific, Korean and Vietnam Wars. The large, well-manicured lawn, the gravestones arranged in an orderly manner, and some fresh bouquets placed next to it, indicating that someone has recently visited. Coming here will be involuntarily infected by the solemn and solemn atmosphere here, for fear that they will disturb the tranquility. Standing on the edge of the crater, you can overlook the panoramic view of Honolulu that you usually don't see.

    The Pacific Cemetery is also a very commemorative area, with some national-level cemeteries, all American soldiers killed in World War II. This place is also an important victory site for World War II, and is now an important military base.

    This cemetery is well worth your time. For those who died in World War II, it is a beautiful place to rest. If you are concerned about history, come here and pay your respects. I highly recommend this place. And also have a great view of Honolulu at the top.

    非常令人印象深刻的纪念碑,列了所有牺牲于太平洋战争的士兵。墓地的所有墓碑都是平的,所以你看不到无尽的一排排,像在阿灵顿。开车到公园的沿途风景令人震惊!

    This is an outstanding representative of the Memorial of the Dead, and one of the three best places I have visited around the world. Two other places are Arlington National Cemetery and the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Even if you are not a veteran or a veteran woman, I would like to invite you to visit this place. It's really impressive and very respectable.
