Just an update for those interested.
It used to be called the USS Arizona Memorial and Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark. It included not only the USS Arizona Memorial, but the remains of the USS Utah and generally all of Pearl Harbor. Then the name was changed to include other Pacific historic sites, including Saipan, Guam and the Aleutians, among others. So it was then named World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument. Well folks, it’s been changed again. It is now named Pearl Harbor National Memorial, and now specific to Oahu only, I believe. I will keep you updated as I hear more.
All of those exist under an umbrella organization titled Pacific Historic Parks which I am a member of. The names have changed, but the sites remain the same.
I would encourage one and all to visit, and or to join the organization and peruse the gift store.

Fightin’ Joe has a group build every year. I would suggest you check in with him.

Actually . . . no. They all exist or existed under the auspices of the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Pacific Historic Parks is a non-profit support organization for Pacific area WWII historic sites. They provide research, preservation, restoration, funds developement, and a number of other wonderful services including running the gift and book stores in those facilities. And yes, the names do change occasionally, but the sites get upgraded - thanks to the support of organizations such as Pacific Historic Parks.
I guess I missed the point of the original post.
Verbal vollyball or tromping on toes was not my intent, but only to let those concerned know about the change. I like the PHP folks, they’re selling my book!
