Save Ewa Field Update

Aloha,

We have come up with some Sunday, December 7
Ewa Field battlefield Commemoration Posters.
See the attached artwork. You can see more here:

Let us know which one you think best represents
the Commemoration of this long lost and forgotten
December 7 battlesite, still marked with strafing
and cannon fire from attacking Imperial Japanese
Navy aircraft.

We feel it is important to Commemorate the actual
battlefield as it is in very dire danger of being bulldozed.
Already, there has been intentional damage done
to the previously untouched Pool battlesite by
Navy land developers using a tractor. The site was
run over from four directions and the pool area
badly chipped and cracked. The historic December 7
concrete ramp was also badly trashed and broken glass
spread around by these same Navy land developers
doing what they called an "Environmental Survey".

It has been our hope that the actual December 7
battlesite would be visited for the first time in over
60 years by an official US Marine Corps Honor
Guard, Rifle Salute and Chaplin to honor the Marines
and Civilians killed on or near the battlesite on
Sunday, December 7, 1941.
