Battleship Missouri Memorial Holds Veterans Day Sunset Ceremony
HONOLULU — From 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on November 11, the Battleship Missouri Memorial at Pearl Harbor held its Veterans Day sunset ceremony, themed this year "America at 250."
Speakers at the ceremony included retired Army Maj. Gen. Suzanne Vares-Lum, John P. Alamodin and Alma Grocki. The ceremony was free to attend, with shuttle service from the Pearl Harbor visitor center.
The battleship Missouri, where the Japanese surrender document ending World War II was signed, is now open to the public as a memorial; military memorial sites across Hawaii held observances on Veterans Day.
