WHAT IS HAWAII?

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration maintains the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific and over 150 other national cemeteries. All the information you might want to know is on their website, including the formation of the volcanic crater known as the “Punchbowl.” “Puowaina” (its Hawaiian name) is believed to have been first used as an altar for human sacrifices to pagan gods. Its later uses included firing off two cannons to announce important occasions or visitors. In the 1930s, the Hawaiian National Guard used the crater as a rifle range.

In the 1940s, after Congress authorized a $50,000 appropriation to establish a national cemetery in Honolulu, the Hawaiian governor offered the Punchbowl. For many reasons, the project did not get underway in earnest until after World War II. Construction began in February 1948 and the first interment was made on January 4, 1949.
