The statue known as “the Lone Sailor” is a tribute to all personnel in the sea services past, present, and future. This statue was sculpted by Stanley Bleifeld using a real sailor, PO1 Dan Maloney as the model. The initials and last name on the sea bag belong to Rear Admiral William Thompson, the first president of the Navy Memorial Foundation. The foundation raised funds for the creation of the Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. The bronze used for the original sculpture is said to have had several historical artifacts added to it during the smelting process.

You will find a display at Pearl Harbor that houses a tiny folded paper crane. This crane was folded by a Japanese girl named Sadako Sasaki. She survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. While she survived the explosion, ten years after the bomb, she developed leukemia. While in the hospital, she began folding 1,000 paper cranes believing that doing so would grant her a wish. She managed to fold 1,400 before succumbing to leukemia at the age of twelve. Her crane folding caught the attention of many people, and Sadako became a symbol of people affected by the atomic bomb and the hope for world peace. The crane at Pearl Harbor was donated by her family as a symbol of peace.

Don’t forget to check out the Pearl Harbor Visitor’s Center Bookstore. The bookstore is operated by the nonprofit Pacific Historic Parks. In addition to history books and reference materials, the bookstore offers a wide array of souvenirs and keepsakes. A portion of the proceeds goes toward funding the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. One unique gift option that the bookstore offers are the USS Arizona Memorial flags. These are flags flown over the Arizona Memorial. Each day the flag over the Arizona Memorial Monument is raised and lowered. Each day a new flag is flown. A flag may be ordered that is to be flown on a specific date. Once the flag is lowered, it is folded in the traditional fashion, packed together with a certificate and personalized message, and shipped to the buyer. There are date restrictions such as flags flown on December 7, the Fourth of July, or Memorial Day and on days that Pearl Harbor National Memorial is closed.

The Hawaii State Capitol Building has been the seat of the Hawaii State Government since 1969. The building was designed by the architectural firms Belt, Lemon, and Lo and John Carl Warnecke and Associates. The building’s architecture contains a lot of symbolism. For example, the reflecting pool around the building represents the Pacific Ocean, the two conical structures housing the State Legislature represent volcanoes, and the columns represent royal palms, one for each Island in the State. Two prominent features of the Capitol Building are the great seal of the State of Hawaii and the statue of Saint Damien De Veuster, Hawaii’s first Catholic Saint.
