U.S. Memorial at Honaira, Guadalcanal. Very impressive marble display, built to last the ages, that details the beginning and end of the 8 month conflict at Guadalcanal. Starting with the Battle of Salvo Island, and ending with the capturing of the island from Japanese forces, the entire campaign is masterfully outlined.This is also significant because many of the other monuments around the area, especially those with brass plates, have been reclaimed for scrap in the uprising a few years ago.
