World War II

 

The National World War II Memorial
The World War II Memorial will be the first national memorial dedicated to all who served in the military services and Merchant Marine of the United States during World War II and acknowledging the commitment and achievement of the entire nation. All military veterans of the war, the citizens on the home front, the nation at large, and the high moral purpose and idealism that motivated the nation’s call to arms will be honored.

 

 

USS Arizona Memorial
The Memorial straddles the sunken hull of the battleship USS Arizona and commemorates the December 7, 1941, Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The Memorial was dedicated in 1962, and became a National Park Service area in 1980.

 

 

World War II Oral History
The Drop Zone Virtual Museum is dedicated to preserving human history by examining the oral histories, e-histories, and photos of the participants of the seminal event of this century - World War II. No great army in history has been without its elite formations. Units such as the Praetorian Guard of Rome, the Imperial Guard of Napoleon and Roger's Rangers of Colonial America had legacies that often outlived the armies they were only a part of. During World War II, America's Rangers, Airborne, Marines, and OSS were America's elite. These are their voices and photos.

The Second World War Experience Center
In October the Second World War Experience Centre will feature personal experiences from prisoners of the Imperial Japanese Army, who laboured on the construction of the infamous Thai-Burma railway. This material illustrates the horrendous living and working conditions suffered by the prisoners. We will also include recollections of Far Eastern Prisoners of War held in other camps who suffered similarly. It will not make for easy reading but we should remember the men who survived and the thousands of prisoners who didn't make it home. If anyone has personal experience of this time, or has family memorabilia in need of a permanent home we would be delighted to hear from you.
