World War Two and Korean War Memorial, Haleiwa, Hawaii.

The Hawaiian Island are so associated with the Japanese December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor that its easy to forget it has a native population, like any territory (as it then was) or state, which served in the armed forces just like those of any other.

This is a memorial to those who lost their lives in the Haleiwa region of O'ahu, while serving in the U.S. military.

Haleiwa is n the island's North Shore.
