In 1943, the governor of Hawaiʻi offered

Punchbowl [crater above] for use as a national memorial cemetery; in February 1948 Congress approved funding and construction began.

The first interment was made Jan. 4, 1949.

The cemetery opened to the public on July 19, 1949, with services for five war dead: an unknown serviceman, two Marines, an Army lieutenant and one civilian—noted war correspondent Ernie Pyle.

Each of us finds their

 unique vehicle for

sharing with others

our bit of wisdom.

Suffering is part of

our training program

for becoming wise.

A quotation is a handy thing

to have about, saving one the

trouble of thinking for oneself,

always a laborious business.

A. A. Milne
