Author Joanne Steen presented her book Military Widows to Executive Director Ken DeHoff. Joanne is the widow of a naval aviator and has dedicated her life to teaching how to respond to all forms of military loss. As the museum expands its boundaries in following its mission, we honor Joanne for her contribution to our community. Education comes in many forms. Mahalo Joanne.

The Pacific Aviation Museum on Pearl Harbor's Ford Island is one of our country's leading aviation museums, and the only one dedicated to the defense of freedom in the Pacific. With actual aircraft from World War II, plus educational interpretations of the Pearl Harbor attack, the Doolittle Raid on Japan, the Battles of Midway and Guadacanal, and much, much more, it is a must-visit for families and visitors alike.
