This cemetery, as are the other 13 World War II United States cemeteries on foreign soil, is located at or near the scene of major military action. In addition to the graves area it includes a memorial chapel, walls or tables of the Missing commemorating by name in stone those servicemen and women reported as missing in the general region, and large battle maps depicting the military action which occurred nearby as well as in other battle areas and theatres of the war. The achievements of our Armed Forces during the Korean War, and the Missing of that war as well as those of the Pacific areas in World War II other than the southwest Pacific, are commemorated at the Honolulu Memorial. The 152 acres of this cemetery site were donated by the government of the Republic of the Philippines. The designs for the cemetery and the memorial were prepared by American artists & architects; construction was executed by local builders under the supervision of the American Battle Monuments Commission. Visitors may obtain assistance & information from the Superintendent or his assistant at the Visitors' Building. The cemetery is open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. (Note: Photo description was lifted from the ABMC marker; also, data in photo was lifted from same.)
