Honolulu Memorial
In 1964, the American Battle Monuments Commission erected the Honolulu
Memorial at the National Memorial Cemetery "to honor the sacrifices and
achievements of American Armed Forces in the Pacific during World War II
and in the Korean War". The memorial was later expanded in 1980 to
include the Vietnam War. The names of 28,788 military personnel who are
missing in action or were lost or buried at sea in the Pacific during
these conflicts are listed on marble slabs in ten Courts of the Missing
which flank the Memorial's grand stone staircase.
The dedication stone at the base of staircase is engraved with the
following words:
IN THESE GARDENS ARE RECORDED
THE NAMES OF AMERICANS
WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY
AND WHOSE EARTHLY RESTING PLACE
IS KNOWN ONLY TO GOD
At the top of the staircase in the Court of Honor is a statue of Lady Columbia, also known as Lady Liberty, or Justice. Here she is reported to represent all grieving mothers. She stands on the bow of a ship holding a laurel branch. The inscription below the statue, taken from Abraham Lincoln's letter to Mrs. Bixby, reads:
THE SOLEMN PRIDE
THAT MUST BE YOURS
TO HAVE LAID
SO COSTLY A SACRIFICE
UPON THE ALTAR
OF FREEDOM
