Description
To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, join park staff as we remember some of those who fought and died at Pearl Harbor and other battles throughout the Pacific Theater of WWII. In addition to three Pearl Harbor casualties, this program will tell the stories of soldiers, sailors, and marines who fought in places such as Guadalcanal, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. In total there are over 500 servicemen who died during WWII interred at the Gettysburg National Cemetery.
This one-hour long walking tour begins at 2 pm at the Taneytown Road entrance to the Gettysburg National Cemetery.
